- Boil lentils in 1 litre of water for 30 minutes.
- While lentils boil, chop onion and add to big saucepan with garlic and a little oil. Sweat them for about 8 to 10 minutes until translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, sugar and herbs, then let reduce for about 5 to 7 minutes; you may need to stir it to stop it catching.
- While the tomato sauce reduces cook the sausages, either in pan or under grill. Get them nice and brown then add them to the tomatoes.
- After the 30 minutes drain the lentils but keep the liquid. Then add the lentils to the sausages and tomatoes and stir well.
- Add 275ml of the lentil liquid, stir and then put a lid on the pot and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.
Tip
You will need a big pan with a lid. I like to enjoy this meal with some green beans or cabbage and some crusty bread.
