[View this email in your browser]( This Is the Greatest Two-Ingredient Appetizer of All Time The secret to a dinner party that is as enjoyable to host as it is to attend is presenting food that seems to be much more than it is, to create the illusion that you worked way harder than you actually did. It’s all about the low-lift, high-payoff dishes. In all the years that associate editor Alex Delany has served these types of dishes at parties, he has kept track of the most successful—the all-stars of the low-lift lineup. And there is one dish that absolutely slays every single time he serves it, one that has earned a permanent spot on every cookout menu from now until the end of time. It is inarguably the world’s greatest two-ingredient dish, seared kielbasa and mustard. Kielbasa and Lentil Soup with Lots of Basil Exactly what you want on a rainy spring day. We're obsessed with the smoky flavor that good kielbasa brings to this hearty soup, but if you can’t find it, any smoked and/or fully cooked sausage will work just as well. About those lentils: You can use whatever you'd like here, but you'll end up with a slightly different dish. Lens-shaped green (pictured here), brown, and red lentils tend to fall apart as they soften, yielding a soup that is thick and porridge-like. By contrast, French green (a.k.a. lentilles du Puy) and black beluga lentils are sturdier and maintain their shape when cooked, resulting in a brothier situation. Different vibes, same great flavor.
