Notes

  • You can use any sausages in this recipe, just cook them according to the packet instructions.
  • If you don't have dried lentils, you can use a can of lentils instead.
  • Add a kick of heat to this by either adding some cayenne at the same time as the herbs, or a sprinkle or red chilli flakes just before serving.
  • This recipe freezes well and is great for batch cooking. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • The thickness of a stew is a personal preference. This is fairly thick, however if you want it a bit more soupy, then add some extra stock.
  • You could add a few shavings of Parmesan on top before serving.
  • You can use red or brown lentils in this recipe, as they take the same amount of time to cook. If you were to use green (puy) lentils, you would need to add an extra 10 minutes cooking time and you may need to add some extra stock.
