Set asideCut onion into long slices about 1/3 in wide. Dice potato with skin into 1/2 in cubes.Begin browning sausage in a skillet on Med-High. Do not worry if brown bits begin to stick to the bottom of the pan. Add butter; once melted add in vegetables from food processor. As well as one minced sprig of rosemary, the sage, a little pepper and salt. Cook vegetables until the shallots begin to be translucent. About 4 minutesAdd chicken broth until veggies are almost covered. This will deglaze the pan. Immediately after adding the broth scrape the bottom of the pan to release all of the brown bits. Add in potatoes, onions, bay leaves, and remaining whole rosemary sprig. Cover, turn down to med heat, and let simmer for about 5 minutes or until the onions are softened.Add the remaining chicken broth, water, lentils, and grain. Cover and let simmer for about 30 minute or until lentils are done.
