Slow Cooker Lentil and Spicy Sausage Stew

In the ongoing quest to find fun new soup and stew recipes, Mel stumbled across a wonderful foodie blog: Table for Two.  It's chock full of great recipe ideas that are relatively simple and don't involve tons of obscure ingredients.  It's definitely been bookmarked for future recipe searches!  This time around, the attention-grabber was a Slow Cooker Lentil and Spicy Sausage Stew.

Things we love about this recipe: minimal ingredients, minimal prep time, maximum flavor.  We admittedly took a bit of a risk and veered from the recipe in one major way: we used Thai chicken sausage instead of spicy Italian sausage.  We just weren't in the mood for super spicy, and we were curious about the Thai sausage flavor.  It was a bit of a gamble, but it wound up being absolutely delicious!  The lentils, sweet potatoes and broth absorbed the flavor of the sausage beautifully.  We may try a different sausage with this stew every time we make it just to keep it interesting!

Thanks, Table for Two!  We definitely will continue to visit your blog for kitchen inspiration.
