Antipasto Lentils with Italian Sausage

Directions

1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan and add the sausage. Thoroughly break the meat apart with a spoon and cook on medium heat until golden.
2. Stir in stock, lentils, oregano, and basil. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook until the lentils are tender and the liquid has been absorbed, approximately 20 minutes.
3. Once the lentils are tender, stir in red pepper, tomato, olives, and lemon zest and juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the excess liquid evaporates.
4. Stir in arugula, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Portion into bowls, top with cheese, and serve.
