Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the sausages for 8 minutes, turning, until browned all over, then lift out and slice thickly.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, carrots and celery to the pan and cook for 8 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Stir in the lentils, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock and rosemary. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Return the sliced sausages to the pan and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the lentils are tender and the sausages are cooked through with no pink remaining.

  5. 5

    Remove the rosemary sprig and season to taste before serving.
