This is a cheap, tasty and filling meal
for 4, made in one pot. You could add
side dishes such as creamed potatoes, or
anything that you fancy. I served it
with roast potatoes and garden peas,
this, with the addition fed 6, could
maybe have got more servings, but there
were 4 gutsy guys eating. I had a
delicious pack of spiced Irish sausages,
compliments of my future Irish DIL. She
was charged for overweight at Dublin
Airport, I'm not surprised the amount of
Irish goodies she brought with her.
Anyone tried Irish Spiced Beef??? Wow. I
cooked it in the slo-cooker overnight
with a mixture of Guinness and plain
water. It was wonderful!
One Pot Sausage and Lentil Stew
Serves 4
1 Tbsp olive oil
400g pack sausages
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 red pepper, sliced
250g lentils (I used puy lentils)
150ml vegetable stock
125ml red wine or extra stock
Heat oil in a pan, cook the sausages
until browned, then remove. Tip in
remaining oil, onion, garlic and pepper,
then cook, about 5 mins more until
softened. Add lentils and sausages to
the pan with the stock and wine, if
using. Bring up to the boil, then simmer
for 20 mins until lentils have softened
and sausages are cooked through.
Serve with plenty of crusty bread.
