I made homemade lentil soup for the first time, and this recipe is a keeper. The potato and sausage add a lot of texture and flavor to this dish. The recipe says it’s best when it’s made 24 hours in advance. All I can say is if it’s this good today, I can’t wait for tomorrow. If you don’t have chorizo use any other spicy sausage like linguica. Recipe courtesy of Beyond Burlap–Idaho’s Famous Potato Recipes, Junior League of Boise. This recipe says it serves 4 to 6 people, but in my opinion it serves 8 to 10. However, if you find yourself going back for additional servings like I did, I suppose it would serve 4 to 6.
This is so much better when made with cabbage and potatoes straight from the ground. Most people I know use just a couple of tablespoons of spicy or hot sweet mustard, but I just use regular yellow mustard (and more of it) due to personal preference. I also use a lower fat pork & alligator sausage from Winn-Dixie that might not be available everywhere. I’m sure it would work with any kind.
Vienna is one of my favorite cities in the world. I also love Austrian cooking like this one with a glass of chilled gruner veltliner. Using cabbage in dishes always make me happy because it’s so nutritious and tasty. I am also posting a homemade fleckerl (egg noodle recipe) if you want to try making your own. Othwerwise, small square noodles or egg noodle work fine here.
DH took me to an Austrian themed restaurant and, as we perused the menu, the table next to us was served. He immediately said “I’ll have what they are having!” Unfortunately they were having the last available servings of a house special. He was crushed. The “house” wasn’t into sharing their recipe. Just based on “eye-balling” the dish I came up with this, which got the DH seal of approval. Serve with boiled new potatoes, steamed cabbage or spiced red cabbage. We like Baked Latkes #48494 and Dill Green Beans #7767 with this.
Tasty, hearty sausage and mushroom bake. Great for those cold winter nights. Also if you omit the chilli it would be an excellent breakfast to wake up to. The original recipe uses beef sausages, I prefer chicken but it’s personal taste. And I normally don’t even skin the sausages.
