I stumbled upon your site while googling lentil recipes. I was hoping to make good use out of some garlic/red pepper sausage I picked up from the Whole Foods meat counter… and of course dried lentils. I made a few adjustments given the ingredients I had on hand–ground sausage (casings removed) instead of kielbasa, also added celery and carrot in place of mushrooms. Next time I think I’ll try adding some heat like Thai chilies to dish. Thanks for recipe!
