Ingredients

  • 4 British free-range pork sausages
  • 2-3 tbsp Merchant Gourmet balsamic vinegar glaze (from major supermarkets) or similar
  • 250g Merchant Gourmet puy lentils (from major supermarkets)
  • 1 celery stick
  • 1 large carrot
  • ½ leek
  • Knob of butter

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Put the sausages in a roasting tin and brush with the vinegar glaze, then cook for 25 minutes or until cooked through, turning halfway through and brushing with a little more glaze.
  2. Meanwhile, finely chop the celery and carrot, and thinly slice the leek. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then add the vegetables and cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the ready-cooked lentils and stock, then cook for 5-10 minutes more until the veg are tender.
  3. While the lentils are heating through, shred the cabbage and cook in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain, then serve with the sausages and lentils.
