Sausage & Lentil Ragout

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until translucent. Stir in garlic and paprika. Cook for another minute, then remove from the heat.

Into a 4 or 5-quart slow cooker, add cooked onion mixture, sausage, carrots, celery, chicken stock, lentils, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir together. Cover and cook 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high, until the vegetables and lentils are tender.

Stir in greens and parsley. Ladle into bowls and serve with crusty bread.
