Ingrédients

2 tbsp oil

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb sausage

2 carrots, chopped

3/4 cup dry brown lentils

2/3 cup dry quinoa

2 tbsp tomato paste

4 cups veggie or chicken broth

2 bay leaves

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp sage

1 cup spinach or kale

1 cup water

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot on medium heat, add the oil, onion and garlic and fry a few minutes, until onion starts to become translucent.

Add the vegan sausage and cook, crumbling it as it cooks. If yours is pre-cooked, simply crumble it and add it to the pot to brown.

Add the carrots, lentils, quinoa, tomato paste, broth, bay leaves, thyme, sage and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are cooked. If it gets too thick, add some water as needed. Once cooked, add the spinach and stir to wilt.

Let cool slightly before serving. Remove bay leaves, then serve.
