Lentils with sausages

1 lb. dried lentils

1 T salt.

¾ c minced onion

3 T diced celery

1/8 t pepper

½ clove garlic

18 small sausages

Pick over, wash, then soak lentils overnight in cold water to cover. Drain and cook, covered, in 2 qts boiling water, to which the salt, onion, celery and pepper have been added, for 1 hour or until tender. Drain. Rub a baking pan with the garlic and grease or oil lightly. Place beans in pan; arrange sausages over top, and broil under low broiler heat until sausages are browned and cooked through—about 20 minutes, turning sausages once. Serves 6 as a main dish.

Tried this in the crockpot with andouille sausage for a creole twist. Easy Yum!
