- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the sausages for 5-6 mins, turning regularly, until browned all over. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the onions, carrots and mushrooms to the pan and fry for 8-10 mins, stirring, until softened and golden.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic and tomato purée. Cook for 2 mins, then add the chopped tomatoes, lentils, stock and sausages. Season with black pepper, stir, then cover and cook over a low-medium heat for 10 mins. Remove the lid; simmer for 15 mins until thickened.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil in another lidded pan over a medium heat and fry the greens for 4-5 mins, stirring, until slightly wilted and starting to colour. Add a splash of water, season, then cover and steam for another 4-5 mins until tender.
- Stir most of the parsley through the cassoulet, then finish with a scattering on top, Serve with the greens alongside.
