Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Place the salt pork in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to remove excess salt, then drain and set the pork aside.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: This blanching step is crucial for controlling the saltiness of the final dish.
2
In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
Aproximativ 8 min.
Nota bucătarului: This vegetable base is called a mirepoix and builds the first layer of flavor.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute more until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
4
Return the blanched pork to the pot. Add the rinsed lentils, chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Tuck the herbs into the liquid so they can infuse the stew as it cooks.
5
Increase the heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 30 minutes.
Aproximativ 30 min.
6
Add the whole smoked sausage to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Cover and continue to simmer for another 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are tender and the pork is cooked through.
Aproximativ 25 min.
Nota bucătarului: If the stew looks too thick, you can add a small splash of hot water or broth.
7
Carefully remove the pork and sausage from the pot onto a cutting board. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Slice the pork and sausage into thick pieces.
Aproximativ 3 min.
8
To serve, ladle the lentils into shallow bowls and arrange the sliced pork and sausage on top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with Dijon mustard on the side.
Aproximativ 1 min.
