Method
- Heat a dry frying pan until hot and add the sausages. Cook for about 5-8 mins until golden all over.
- Meanwhile, heat the sunflower oil in a large casserole dish. Add the red onion, parsnips and swede. Season well. Cook over a medium heat for about 5-10 mins until the vegetables are just starting to soften, then stir in the sage and cook for 1-2 mins more.
- Transfer the sausages to the casserole pan with the lentils, tomatoes, chicken stock and rosemary. Give everything a good stir, then cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 30 mins over a low heat, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Scatter over the parsley and serve with some crusty bread, if you like.
