Celebrated French chef, author and television personality Jacques Pépin is known for his mastery of French cuisine, but he's also known for making delicious, thoughtful, comforting food that's accessible to home cooks.

This stew is absolutely doable and Pépin shows us how, step-by-step. The combination of spicy sausage that he turns into little meatballs, plus the combination of leeks, carrots and onions and the creamy lentils is everything we want to eat right now. After the rich holiday food, we're still craving comfort, but maybe something a tiny bit lighter—and this dish fits that bill.

How to Make Jacques Pépin's Easy Lentil and Sausage Stew
Then you will chop some leeks, carrots, onion and garlic and add the vegetables to the pot with the sausage. Let the veggies cook in the sausage-infused oil until they're starting to get tender, about 4 minutes.
Pépin suggests serving the stew with a nice salad, which we love. We'd also happily take a piece of bread (maybe garlic bread) alongside.
Why Jacques Pépin's Easy Lentil and Sausage Stew Is a Great New Year's Dish
A traditional New Year’s Day meal often features dishes symbolizing prosperity, luck and good health for the year ahead. In the Southern United States, where I was raised, black-eyed peas and collard greens or cabbage are staples. Black-eyed peas represent coins and financial luck, while the greens symbolize paper money and wealth. Often served alongside cornbread, which signifies gold, this meal is a flavorful wish for abundance in the year ahead.
And even if you're not the superstitious kind, we'd say that you and your family will feel lucky when you make this dish because it's so comforting and delicious. And who doesn't want more of that in the year ahead?
