Background
On New Year's' Day we're supposed to eat lentils and pork to bring us luck in the coming year - so every year I make some soup or stew of these ingredients. In fact pork and lentils really complement each other, creating a very filling and tasty combination. This sausage and lentil one-pot is a perfect example - very hearty, comforting, yet full of healthy vegetables too! I used chipolatas but any good quality sausages will do! Serve them with crusty bread and you'll feel lucky already!
Ingredients
- About 6-8 good quality sausages
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 stick of celery
- 1 red pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 sprig of rosemary or 3 sage leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 300g lentils ( green or Puy)
- 500 ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 glass of red wine
- 1 handful of cherry tomatoes or 3 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- pinch of brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
- Oil to cook
Instructions
- Heat a little oil in a heavy-based casserole dish and cook the sausages until browned all over. This should take about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime finely slice the onion and finely chop the carrot, pepper, celery, garlic and the herb.
- Transfer the sausages to a plate, add some more oil to the pan and sauté the chopped vegetables for 5-10 minutes. When they are soft stir in the lentils, add the tomatoes, wine and sugar. Let it sizzle for a minute then pour in the stock and the vinegar.
- Put back the sausages, add the bay leaf and under a lid simmer for 30 minutes or so, until the lentil is tender (but still al dente).
- Season to taste and serve with the chopped parsley.
