Background

This lentil stew with sausage is warming and hearty, ideal on cold, winter evenings. The stew is vegan so it’s ideal for families where some members follow a vegetarian or plant-based diet but others are meat-eaters. Also, it's ideal for New Year's day as eating lentils & pork brings luck. (You can grill the sausages in advance or use leftovers for this recipe.) Serve the stew with fresh bread.

Ingredients

1 medium red onion
1 large carrot
1 stick of celery
1 tsp black cumin seeds
2 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp chilli flakes
300g brown or green dry lentils
1 large tomato
300 ml passata
500 ml chicken stock
1 bay leaf
8 good quality sausages
1 tsp cider vinegar
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Finely chop the onion, celery, carrot and garlic.
Heat the oil in a large pot and add the chopped onion, carrot and celery. Stirring frequently, cook for about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and cumin seeds and cook for a minute.
Chop the tomato then add to the pot, together with the bay leaf and passata.
Rinse the lentils, then add them to the pot and pour over the stock.
Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook under cover until the lentils are tender – this should take about 25-30 minutes. Add more stock, if the stew is getting too thick.
Meanwhile, grill or fry the sausages, then set aside.
When the lentils are tender, add the sausages to warm through.
Stir in the vinegar and parsley. Season to taste, if needed, then serve.
