Sausage, Shallot and Lentil Casserole with Ginger & Parsley

Sausage, Shallot and Lentil Casserole with Ginger and Parsley is a perfect autumnal dish, prepared in one dish and it is delicious served with ®tenderstem broccoli and mash!

Serves: 4

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 30 – 40 minutes

You will need:

Olive oil

8 good quality pork and leek sausages

400g whole small shallots

30g ginger finely chopped

1 carrot finely chopped

1 sprig of fresh thyme

2-3 bay leaves

½ Bottle of Red Wine

1 litre good chicken stock

200g lentil de Puy

30g parsley

What to do:

In a large metal casserole dish add a splash of olive oil and seal off the sausages so that they are browned off all over, remove from the pan and place on to a plate until later on when required.

Wipe out the pan the sausages were in and add another splash of oil, then add in the whole peeled shallots, finely diced ginger and carrot and cook for a minute.

Now add the sprig of thyme, bay leaves and the wine, bring to the boil and reduce the liquid by the quarters.

When the liquid has reduced add the stock and bring back to the boil. Once boiled add in the lentils and cook on the top of the stove for 5 minutes.

Add the sausages back to the pan and place the whole pan into a hot oven at 180 ºc for 20 minutes.

After this time remove the pan from the oven and add the chopped parsley.

The sauce should be at the right consistency and the lentils cooked through, but if the sauce is too thin simply place back on the stove and reduce slightly until the right consistency has been achieved, it should coat the back of a spoon.

Place the lentils and shallots on hot plates then place the sausages on top, pouring over the sauce and finishing with a sprig of parsley.

Serve with Tenderstem broccoli and creamy mash potatoes.
