simple but good.

Dice the onion, garlic, and chili (if desired), and sauté in olive oil. Add the finely chopped vegetables, diced sausage, and bacon, and sauté lightly. Add the stock and lentils and bring to a boil. Simmer for approximately 45 minutes, depending on the lentils’ cooking time (according to the package instructions). Add the diced potatoes approximately 20-25 minutes before the end of the cooking time, and the green beans approximately 10 minutes before the end. Season to taste with balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and/or (better!) English brown sauce, salt, pepper, sweet mustard, and a pinch of sugar.
