Lentil Stew

From allrecipes.com

7 medium potatoes, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound Polish sausage, sliced
1 (16 ounce) package lentils
salt and pepper to taste

1.Place the potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and sausage in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 15 minutes.
2.Stir lentils into the pot. Add more water if necessary to just cover all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender.

I only had 1/2 pound of lentils, so I used 4 potatoes, a 14 oz can of diced tomoates, and 3/5 pound of Italian sausage. Also added 4 carrots.

Notes:
Very lentil-tasting... next time I would try the Polish kielbasa instead of the Italian sausage. Also, I let it cook for almost 2 hours - it definitely took more than 20 minutes to get the lentils soft.
