Lentil Stew with Mustard Greens and Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 pound Italian sausage links casings removed
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 6 cups stemmed and torn mustard greens about 1 bunch or kale
- 1 pound sweet potatoes about 2 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup dried lentils
- kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions and cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
- Add the broth, mustard greens, sweet potatoes, lentils, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
