My Garlic Sausage Lentils were a big flop. I could taste the garlic and the bay leaves, but the lentils were still bland, and adding salt and pepper didn't really help. I'm not sure what, if anything I did wrong. I could have used more fresh ingredients. The sausages were very good, though, with lots of flavor. I served them on top of the lentils, but I think it would have improved the dish if the sausages were cut up and it was all tossed together. I used the recipe from Rachel Ray's Website.
Here's how it went: 
I boiled the lentils with big hunks of onion and two bay leaves.

| It smelled really good! |
Then I soaked minced garlic and dried parsley in extra virgin olive oil, and I started my sausages.
I removed the bay leaves, but kept the onion, then my daughter tossed the cooked lentils with the garlic.

| I used a small lid to keep my sausages straight while I gave them a nice crispy skin. |
Here is the finished product, with strawberries....
Overall, it wasn't bad, but it really wasn't good either, I'm going to have to work more with lentils to get a better feel for the flavoring.
