Sausage And Lentil Casserole Recipes

SPICY SAUSAGE AND LENTIL CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole (with a lid) over a medium-high heat, add the sausages and brown all over. Transfer to a plate, leaving the oil in the casserole.
• Add the onion, carrot, garlic and chilli flakes to the casserole, cover and cook gently for 10 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
• Take off the lid and stir in the cumin, paprika and tomato purée, then cook for 1 minute. Stir in the red lentils, chicken stock, chopped tomatoes and sausages and bring to a simmer, stirring to stop the lentils sticking to the base of the casserole.
• Cover and simmer for 40 minutes until the sausages are tender, the lentils are cooked and the sauce is thick. If the sauce looks watery, cook for 10 minutes with the lid off to thicken it. Stir in the puy lentils and most of the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Scatter over the remaining parsley and serve with garlic bread, couscous or rice.

LENTILS & SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Rinse lentils in water and drain well; pick out and discard any foreign material. Add to 4-quart casserole or Dutch oven. Add the boiling water, salt, and garlic. Cover and place in a 350° F oven to begin baking.
• Meanwhile, remove casings from sausage and cut into 1-inch chunks. Cook sausage in a wide frying pan over medium heat until well browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage and stir into lentils. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings; add onion to drippings and cook, stirring, until soft. Stir onion and carrots into lentils.
• Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Stir tomato sauce and vinegar into lentils and bake, uncovered, for 20 more minutes.
• Garnish with parsley.

WHITE BEAN-SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Cook sausage, onion and garlic in a large saucepan 5 to 10 minutes or until the sausage is browned and the onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in beans, tomatoes, broth, the water, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in kale (or spinach). Simmer, uncovered, 1 to 3 minutes more or until the kale is tender (or the spinach is wilted).

SAUSAGE AND LENTILS

Steps:

• Combine water, lentils and onion in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes. Add sliced sausage, and season with cumin, salt and pepper. Simmer until lentils are tender, about 5 to 10 more minutes.

LENTIL AND POLISH SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Saute the onions in the olive oil until brown (about 10 minutes).
• Add the garlic and continue to cook for a minute or two.
• Add the lentils and the sausage.
• Add the water, bay leaf, salt (at least 1 teaspoon or to taste) and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil, cover and turn down the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hrs or until lentils are tender.
• Watch the pot to make sure there is enough liquid so that the lentils don't burn.

RICE AND LENTIL CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the sausage until no pink shows. Stir in the onion and green pepper, and saute until the onions are tender. Stir in the lentils, rice and chicken broth. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40 to 60 minutes.

FRENCH-LENTIL AND SAUSAGE STEW

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown sausage, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the lentils, stock, 3 1/2 cups water, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt. Bring stew to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until lentils are just tender, about 50 minutes.
• Return sausage to the pan; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 teaspoons rosemary. Season stew with salt and pepper.

SAUSAGE & LENTIL ONE-POT

Steps:

• 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.

LINCOLNSHIRE SAUSAGE & LENTIL SIMMER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole or very large sauté pan with a lid. Add the pancetta and sausages and sizzle for 10 minutes, turning the sausages occasionally until nicely browned and sticky. Scoop the sausages out on to a plate.
• Add the onions, carrot and garlic to the pancetta and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions soften. Return the sausages to the pan and add the rosemary, lentils, stock, vinegar and tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly for 5 minutes, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring every so often until the lentils are tender. (It can now be chilled and frozen for up to 1 month.) Check the seasoning, scatter over the parsley and serve from the pan with a winter leaf salad.
