Place lentils and water in a bowl to soak lentils. Soak for about 30 minutes. That way the lentils will cook through better, take in more flavor and it will be easier for you to digest.
Serve up hot and enjoy. Parsley can be used as a garnish.

Notes
The sausage can be substituted with bacon pieces, about 3.5 ounces/100 grams bacon.
You can use beef or pork stock, or vegetable broth.
Note that the french green lentils don't turn mushy, they hold their shape when you cook them, even if you cook them for a longer time.
The Dijon mustard is optional but I recommend adding it. It adds flavor and mustard is a natural emulsifier, which means the consistency will turn out thicker.
This recipe resembles one of my first dishes back in 2011, the brown lentil pot with sausage. I never had time to update this recipe, so please excuse its condition.
