A comforting and flavorful lentil stew featuring spicy sausage and aromatic vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Combine the chicken broth and lentils in a large pot.
Using low-sodium broth allows you to control the salt level better.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent lentils from sticking to the bottom.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the lentils are not overcooked.
Toast the fennel seeds in a skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
Toasting enhances the flavor of the seeds.
Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding vegetables for better sautéing.
Add the celery, carrot, and onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5-10 minutes.
Cut the vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
Add the toasted fennel seeds, sautéed vegetables, sausage, thyme, and Creole seasoning to the pot with the lentils.
Stir well to distribute the flavors evenly.
Cover and simmer the stew until the lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Taste the stew before adding salt, as the sausage and seasoning may already provide enough saltiness.
