This rice with lentils and sausage is my mother’s recipe. Although the Lentil It’s not a very photogenic ingredient, it’s a super food! He has very high nutritional value! I confess that I hardly consumed it, but I’m trying to include it on the menu. This recipe is a great choice above all for anyone who wants to eat lentils and enjoy them, of course!
Ingredients:
- 1 small chopped onion;
- 2 cloves of chopped garlic;
- 1 cup of pepperoni sausage, chopped into slices (I used the thin one);
- 1 chopped seedless tomato;
- 1 cup (tea) of lentils;
- 1/2 cup diced yellow pepper;
- 1 cup (tea) of rice;
- Salt and pepper according to your taste;
- Parsley to decorate.
Start by soaking the lentils in water for 2 hours. After this time, drain and discard the water.
Saute the sausage, onion and garlic with a little olive oil. Add the pepper and tomato and mix well. Add the lentils and then the rice. Add salt and black pepper.
Cover with boiling water, as is normally done when preparing white rice. Leave the pan covered but with a little space to let the steam escape over low heat until the rice is well cooked.
Sprinkle parsley when serving so you have a tasty and very colorful dish!
