Mustard and Sour Cream Lentil Stew with Sausage | Hearty Autumn One-Pot Dish

Rinse the lentils thoroughly in cold water and drain them. Slice the smoked sausage into rounds. Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic cloves. Peel the carrots and celeriac, then cut them into evenly sized small dice or rounds.

Melt the lard in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and fry for 3–4 minutes until golden brown, releasing its flavorful fat.

Add the finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, diced carrots, and celeriac. Sauté the vegetables for 4–5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
