Notes:
This is a very easy dish to prepare and almost any ingredient or seasoning may be adjusted to taste. I usually use Italian sausage but most any sort will serve.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoons - anise seed
- 1/2 teaspoons - ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoons - paprika
- 2 tablespoons - Italian Herbs Oregano, basil, etc. mix
- 3 leaves - Bay Leaves
- 1 tablespoons - Salt
- 1 1/2 pounds - sausage
- 4 cups - carrots diced
- - onion white, yellow, red, or green, as you prefer. Diced.
- 3 cans - diced tomatoes 14.5 oz. cans.
- 12 cups - split red lentils Available at Indian grocers (Dhal). Brown lentils work too but yield a different final consistency.
Directions:
Brown sausage in 4 gal. Pot.
Add onions and brown.
Add carrots and anise seed.
Cook until carrots begin to soften.
Add tomatoes and seasonings.
Add 2.5 - 3 gal water.
Bring to a boil.
Add lentils.
Bring to a boil.
Simmer >1 hour.
When it is ready, it will have a consistency similar to split pea soup.
Add additional salt to taste (but don't overdo it; folks can salt their own bowl!)
You can make a half- or double-recipe using these proportions.
Smaller amounts may need some adjustment to seasonings.
