Рецепт Lentil, Sausage and Vegetable Stew

• 1/2 cup dry brown lentils
• 6 cups water (about)
• 5 ounces sausage (I used reduced-fat pork)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional - may not be needed if sufficient fat in sausage to saute veggies)
• 1 medium onion chopped fine
• 1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
• 1 stalk celery chopped fine
• 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped fine
• 1 medium zucchini diced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander seed
• 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes undrained (I used garden fresh chopped tomatoes, cooking them into the vegetable mixture)
