Green Lentils with Soy Sausage and Veggies

This is the perfect vegetarian comfort dish. Serve with slices of rustic bread and enjoy sitting on the coach in front of a fire. Lactose free and full of flavors and spices. Cumin is the spice of choice for this particular dish and pairs harmoniously with the lentils and the smokiness of the sausage.

Ingredients

250 g dried green lentils
Olive oil
2 medium sizes tomatoes diced
1/2 chopped onion
1 finely diced chili pepper
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
5 medium sized soy sausages finely chopped
1 small cabbage thinly chopped
1 tsp sugar
2 tbs dried cumin
50 ml soy sauce
250 ml white wine
1 sliced lemon

Soak the lentil in a bowl of water over night. Strain and boil in a pot of water for 20 minutes. Set aside.

Saute the onion, chili pepper and ginger in a bit of olive oil on medium heat. Cook thoroughly for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the soy sausage and cook until golden. This will add a nice smoky flavor to the lentils. Add the tomato and cabbage and season with a pinch of sea salt. Cook on medium heat for 4 minutes. Add the lentils, soy sauce, cumin, sugar and white wine. Cover and let cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Remove lid and serve in a bowl. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice to bring together all the flavors.

Serve with slices of fresh rustic bread or toast. Add a scoop of natural yogurt to freshen up your dish.
