Ingredients

1 pack lentils
1 onion, chopped
3 cups water
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
2 sausages cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, place onion, lentils, all spices, and sausages. Stir.
2. Add water and tomato sauce. Stir.
3. Add baking soda and bay leaves.
4. Cook 4 hours on high temperature or 8 hours on low temperature.

Notes

• Soaking method for lentils: leave them in the water on room temperature during the night, in the morning rinse them a couple of times, and they are ready.
• You can add more water if you want to get a soup.
• For a vegan/vegetarian option: just do not add sausages. My suggestion is to add carrots instead.
• You can serve it with a slice of bread.
