Baked Sausage & Lentils

• 份量: 4 servings
• 活動時間: 10 minutes
• 總時間: 1 hour

食材

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 eschallots/shallots (, peeled, halved, finely sliced (sub 1 large onion, Note 1)

3 garlic cloves (, finely minced)

1 tbsp cumin seeds (don't skip this!)

1 puy lentils / French lentils (sub green/brown lentils, Note 3)

4 small carrots (peeled, quartered, diced into 8mm/ 1/3" cubes)

1 tsp cooking salt (kosher salt)

3/4 tsp black pepper

3 cups chicken broth/stock (used bone)

5 x 91g pork sausages (~1 pound; bought Hempler's Smoked Sausage, Bacon & White Cheddar from Costco)

步驟

Pre-heat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).

Cooking vessel - Use a metal roasting pan ~23 x 33 cm / 9 x 13". Fold a sheet of baking/parchment paper (large enough to cover pan) in half and cut 4 x ~10cm/4" slits (steam vents! Note 4). Else, use foil - just tear steam vents.

Sauté aromatics - Put the pan directly on the stove (really, it's ok!) and heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add eschallots and garlic, sauté for 3 minutes until soft. Add cumin seeds and stir for 1 minute.

Lentils & stock - Add dried lentils, carrot, salt, pepper and stock. Bring to a simmer.

Sausages & paper - Gently place the sausages on top (don't press in). Cover with the paper, gently pressing so it "sticks" to the stock.

Bake for 25 minutes on the middle shelf. Remove paper and bake for 20 more minutes to brown the sausages.

Rest 5 min - Remove from the oven. Rest for 5 minutes.

Serve the sausages with lentils. The flavour-loaded lentils are saucy so they act as the sauce for the sausages! Also pictured in post - baby spinach with Everyday Dressing.

筆記
