Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 45 mins | Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb spicy chicken sausage, chopped

• 1 small onion, diced

• 1 c lentils, rinsed

• 3 c water

• 2 c low-sodium chicken broth

• 1/2 bunch kale, collards, or Swiss chard with stems and center ribs discarded, sliced thin (about 2 c)

• 1 Tbsp lemon juice

• fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan, brown sausage over moderate heat. Add onion and cook until soft and golden.

2. Add lentils, water and broth and bring to boil. Simmer covered, 30 minutes, or until lentils are almost tender.

3. Add greens and simmer uncovered, about 10 minutes, until lentils are tender. Don't overcook the greens-keep them bright green! Just before serving, add lemon juice and sprinkle with pepper to taste.
