We fought the chill of the cold snap (for SC - it was in the 40s. . .) on Tuesday night with the lovely Lentils with Spinach and Soy Sausage. Dan and I really enjoyed this. I made it exactly as written, using Tofurky Italian Sausage with sun-dried tomatoes and basil. This was my first venture into meat replacement products beyond tofu and veggie burgers. I was pleasantly surprised, this sausage was really tasty. I thought it would have been just as good without the sausage though. I love lentils! Plus the cardamon added a lovely flavor. (See, everything is better with cardamon). We had it topped with feta, although I bet ricotta salata would be good. I think cheddar would be weird. I think we'll make this again. It was so quick and easy, yet really flavorful and filling.

Hoorah! I'm making this tomorrow night with the same sausage... also my first venture into meatless meat. Anshul is, of course, skeptical. I was going to surprise him and see if he could tell the difference, but then I opened my big mouth.
