Sausages with warm lentil salad

3.0 / 5 FROM 2

The lentils, carrots and potatoes can be cooked in advance and reheated in the microwave when needed.

Ingredients

1½ cups Green lentils, small
6 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 medium Carrots, diced 2cm
300 g Potatoes, peeled, diced 2cm
12 large Pork sausages, or 18 smaller ones, use your favourite, (I used the smaller L’Authentique brand Traditional Toulouse Pork sausages)
1 small Red onion, finely chopped
1 stick Celery, thinly sliced
1 handful Parsley, small, coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp White wine, or cider vinegar
150 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
0 Garlic clove, large, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the lentils and boil gently for 20 minutes or until the lentils are completely tender. Drain well and place in a warm serving bowl. Add 4 Tbsp of the oil and mix well. 
  2. Meanwhile drop the carrots and potatoes into another saucepan of boiling water and boil for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain well and add to the lentils.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat and add the sausages. Fry until cooked through and browned.
  4. Add the onion, celery, parsley, tomatoes, garlic and vinegar to the lentil mixture. Mix well, taste and season. This is the salad.
  5. Serve the sausages on the salad.

    My family and I ate this meal as our New Years Day dinner. Pork for good luck, lentils for money and added horseradish for health. We really enjoyed the dish and our son asked for it to be added to our recipe book.

    Whoops! Just realized it was in the salad section. But the carb comment stands.

    How is that a tray bake? And potatoes with lentils? Carb overkill
