- 1/2 cup green or French green lentils
- 4 large garlic cloves peeled but left whole
- 6 fresh sweet or hot Italian sausages
- 3/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Scatter tomatoes and dry lentils over bottom of a 10×10-inch (25×25-cm) (or similar-sized) baking dish. Add garlic, lay sausages overtop, and pour stock over everything. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and oil. Toss in a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Poke each sausage once or twice with a fork.
