SAUSAGES WITH BRAISED PUY LENTILS image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Pork     Braise     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner

Yield 2 serves

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup puy lentils
4 Pork and fennel sausages
olive oil
1 glass red wine
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
small sprig rosemary, finely choppsed
small handful of sage leaves, finely chopped
1 red chilli, seeded and chopped
1 heaped teaspoon tomato paste
1 cup beef stock
2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the lentils in plenty of boiling water until mostly cooked. In a deep pan, gently fry sausages in olive oil until brown and then keep warm in oven. Tip off fat/oil from dish and discard. Boil down red wine (in same pan) until about 3 tablespoons, pour into jug and set aside. Add more oil to pan, add garlic, onion, herbs and chilli and cook over medium heat until soft. Add tomato paste and cook for a minute or two. Add drained lentils, red wine reduction and stock and mix well. Cook over low heat until lentils are cooked through but still retain some bite. Add more stock if the pan is drying out. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with sausages and chopped parsely.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, choose sausages that are roughly the same size.
  • Prick the sausages with a fork before browning them to help them release their fat and prevent them from bursting.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to braise the sausages to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Add enough liquid to the pot to cover the sausages about halfway. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the sausages for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the braised sausages with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Braised sausages are an easy and flavorful meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
