Steps:
- For the lentils:
- Put 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil into a good-sized saucepan (and one that has a lid that fits) on the heat and when it's warm, add the chopped onion. Sprinkle with salt (which helps prevent its browning) and cook over low to medium heat until soft (about 5 minutes). Add the lentils, stir well and then cover generously with cold water. Bring to the boil, then cover and let simmer gently for 1/2 an hour or so until cooked and most, if not all, the liquid's absorbed. I don't add salt at this stage since the sauce provided by the sausages later (and which will be poured over the lentils) will be pretty salty itself. So, wait and taste. And remember, you can of course cook the lentils in advance.
- Anyway, when either the lentils are nearly ready or you're about to reheat them, put a heavy-based frying pan on the burner, cover with a film of oil and add the bruised garlic. Cook for a few minutes then add and brown the sausages. When the sausages are brown on both sides - which won't take more than 5 minutes or so - throw in the wine and water and let bubble up. Cover the pan, either with a lid or aluminum foil, and cook for about 15 minutes. Using a fork, mash the now-soft garlic into the sauce and taste for seasoning, adding a little more water if it's too strong.
- Remove the lentils to a shallowish bowl or dish (I evacuate the sausages from their cooking pan, plonk the lentils in, then proceed) then cover with the sausages and their garlicky, winey gravy. Sprinkle over some flat-leaf parsley.
SAUSAGE AND LENTILS
A simple dish with a distinct flavor that will leave you craving more. Lentils are cooked with Polish sausage and cumin to make a fast and satisfying meal that is ready in under 30 minutes with minimal effort. Use any type of sausage - I have used bratwurst, chorizo and leftover hot links as well.

Tips:
- Choose the right lentils: For this recipe, brown or green lentils are the best choices. They hold their shape well during cooking and have a slightly peppery flavor.
- Rinse the lentils thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris and help the lentils cook evenly.
- Use good quality sausage: The sausage is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality, flavorful sausage. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and has a good balance of spices.
- Brown the sausage thoroughly: Browning the sausage gives it a nice caramelized flavor and helps to render out some of the fat. Be sure to brown the sausage over medium heat so that it doesn't burn.
- Cook the lentils in broth: Using broth instead of water to cook the lentils gives them a more flavorful and aromatic flavor. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
- Season the lentils well: Don't be afraid to season the lentils well with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the lentils and make the dish more enjoyable.
- Serve the lentils hot: Lentils are best served hot, so be sure to reheat them if you have any leftovers.
