Chicken Sausages with Creamy Lentils recipe by Pip Payne

Chicken sausages are a great family-friendly dish for two reasons: they tend to be leaner than pork sausages, and they have a mild flavour that is great for kids and also won’t overpower a dish. I blend all of the vegetables in this so that they aren’t discernible among the lentils and sausages, for an easy-to-eat family favourite. I usually serve this for the kids in mini casserole dishes with some crusty French bread.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Use a food processor to pulse-chop the onion, leek, celery, carrot, rosemary and garlic until all are very finely chopped (you can also use a knife!)

Step 2

Spray a sauté pan with oil and fry the sausage pieces for 3 minutes to give them some colour, then add all the finely chopped vegetables with some salt and pepper and fry these for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Pour the hot stock into the pan, add the lentils and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir the cream through the lentils and serve.
