Meat-less Mondays! "Sausage" Red Lentil Hot Dish

I'm going meat-less today, with one of my favorite hot dishes. Hot dishes are an all-in-one pot meal, a popular dish from my mid-west childhood. There were usually always beef in them, but mine does not. You can totally switch up the veggie sausage for chicken or pork sausage if you like.

Ingredients:

1 14oz package of Tofurky sausages (you can use any kind of sausage you like)
2 tbsp avocado oil (you can substitute for EVOO or vegetable oil)
1 cup red lentils
2 cups vegetable broth
1 16oz package frozen cauliflower
1 16oz package of frozen kale (I like Trader Joes Brand)
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp red pepper flaskes
salt
pepper

Ingredients

Heat the oil in a large pan, on medium heat

Slice the sausage

Cook the sausage in the heated pan, till all sausage is browned, then remove the sausage from the pan.

Add the vegetable stock to the hot pan.

Then add the red lentils.

Then add the frozen cauliflower and kale and stir. Raise the heat to high, till the hot dish is boiling. Then cover and lower the heat to medium low and let simmer for 20 minutes. 

Then add the the diced tomatoes and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Lastly add the sausage, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Cook till the sausage is heated thru and then remove from heat. Enjoy!
