Try this gourmet sausage and lentil bistro dish for dinner tonight!
Ingredients:
  • 400g lentils
  • 8 thick pork sausages
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 apple, peeled, cored, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 1 small bunch thyme
  • 330ml apple cider
  • 330ml chicken stock
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • Sour cream, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Boil the lentils in a saucepan of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside for later use.
  • Heat up a generous drizzle of oil in a large frypan over gentle heat. Cook the sausages, flipping occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until beautifully browned. Then, transfer the sausages to a plate and keep them aside.
  • In a skillet, warm up the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over gentle heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they are soft, around 2 minutes.
  • Turn the heat up to medium, toss in the apple, thyme, and bay leaf, then season to taste. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the ingredients are soft.
  • Pour in the cider and stock, then let it come to a gentle simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes until the liquid has slightly thickened.
  • Add the sausages back to the pan along with the celery and lentils, then heat for 4-5 minutes until everything is warmed through.
  • Divide the lentil mixture onto serving plates and place the sausages on top.
  • Top with a dollop of sour cream, if preferred.
