Sausage & Lentil Stew With Baby Carrots

Method

1. Heat a glug of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan, then add the sausages and fry for about 10 minutes until cooked through and golden brown all over. Remove from the pan and leave in the oven at a low temperature to keep warm.
2. Add another glug of olive oil to the pan and gently fry the sliced onions & garlic until soft and fragrant, stirring often. Then add the tomato purée and stir to coat the onion and garlic in it.
3. Take any baby carrots that are a little big and cut in half lengthways, then add all the carrots to the pan and stir well.
4. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and beef stock to the carrot mixture and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes with a lid on.
5. Remove the lid and add the lentils to the tomato mixture, stirring every so often. Place the lid back on the pan and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened a little.
6. Take the lid off the pan< Download recipe PDF
