Korak za korakom

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.

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.

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.

Kuharjeva opomba: If the stew looks too thick, you can add a small splash of hot water or broth.

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.
