sausage and lentil stew



nice easy dinner tonight, my partner loves sausages and i decided to make something a little different with them. this meal turned out really really well, i could have eaten two bowls but i restrained myself. i used garlic and parsely beef sausages and think this recipe would be great with any gourmet style of sausage, i was thinking of trying it again sometime with a spicy sausage or chorizo as this would suit the meal well.

you will need
6 flavoured sausages
1 tin of lentils
2 large potatoes
3 small tomoatoes
1/2 zucchini
1/2 carrot
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
handful fresh basil leaves
3 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste

start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into fairly large chunks and putting them on to boil. boil some water in another pot with a splash of vinegar and poach the sausages. fry onion, garlic, tomato and basil in pan with some oil. add zucchini and carrot along with the stock and bring to boil, add the potatoes and sausages. when all ingredients are cooked through add the lentils and season. i add the lentils last so they stay fairly firm. season to taste and serve with crusty bread and butter
