III: Lentil Stew

I just bought the ingredients for this one (well ok, i forgot a few) and had to call my mom for the recipe. This is seriously good stuff.

2 sweet italian sausage links (smushed up after being taken out of the casing)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced or put through a garlic press)
1 carrot (chopped)
1 celery stalk (chopped)
1 potato (cubed)
handful of prunes
1/3 bag of lentils
1 can beef stock
1/2 can water
any other vegetable sitting around in the fridge
balsamic vinegar

Brown the sausage, onion and garlic on the bottom of a pressure cooker or large stock pot. Season with salt and pepper. Saute in the carrot, celery, potato, and other vegetables. Add the stock, water, prunes and lentils. Cover and allow pressure to build to highest then turn off, and allow to cool entirely or bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes or until lentils are tender. Serve with balsamic vinegar to taste.
