John
You've never had it cooked right, then.
Take a pound of lentils, dried
3-4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
1 cup diced celery
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 lbs Polish sausage (kielbasci), sliced about 1/4 inch
1-2 tbl tomato paste
1 qt cold water
1 pt beef stock
3 large bay leaves
1 tsp each dried parsley, basil
black pepper to taste
Put the lentils in a large pot, add the water, and bring this to a boil. Boil for a couple of minutes, then reduce the heat to keep the liquid at a simmer.
Add the remaining ingredients except the kielbasci and simmer for about an hour, or until the lentils and potatoes are soft. Add the sausage and simmer until the slices are heated through. Season with black pepper. Serve with a good rye or pumpernickel and a pint of stout or a Bockbier or Hefeweizen.
It's especially good at this time of the year, guten Appetit!
Prost!
