Directions:
In deep saucepan, sauté the garlic, coriander and cayenne in 2 teaspoons of oil for 30 seconds. Add the stock, bay leaf and lentils and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes, cover, and cook until the potatoes and lentils are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile brown the sausage in a nonstick skillet. When the stew is cooked, toss with the remaining tablespoon of oil, the lemon juice, arugula, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to bowls and top each with cheese.
