It's just bursting with flavour and can be easily adapted to suit your own families individual tastes.

You'll love how it's packed with vitamins and minerals but not only that, just one portion gives you nearly your whole dose of daily recommended protein!

Serve this sausage and lentil recipe on its own, with some extra green vegetables or even some rustic bread, as we love to do. It's sure to satisfy the whole family.

With everything seeming to be going up in price here in the UK, if you're looking to try and cut back on your food bills but not comromise on good quality food or nutrition then I've got you covered here.

Lentils are just great for bulking out a meal and really cheap.

In this lentil recipe I've used green lentils but you can also use Puy lentils.

Puy lentils are roughly the same as green lentils. The only main differences being that Puy lentils are a lentil variety from a specific area of France and you'll probably find them to be more expensive that green lentils!

All kinds of sausages be they meat, vegetarian or veggie go well with the lentils here.

We love our chicken sausages as they tend to be less fatty than traditional pork or beef ones. So that's what I've used here.

When you dig into your first bite of this sausage and lentil stew you'll experience a deep rich spicy flavour.

Do experiment with the spiceness here by varying the amount of dried crushed chillies added or by omitting them altogether if you prefer.

You'll find this one pot sausage and lentil casserole a perfect weekday meal. Enjoy!

Sausage and Lentil Stew Recipe

You can keep this stew in the fridge for 2 - 3 days. After that I'd recommend freezing it. Make sure it's completely cooled before freezing and portion it up into individual containers.

To reheat allow the stew to defrost fully first then it can be easily reheated in the microwave or on your stove top.

Feel free to adapt this recipe to make it your own by adding your choice of sausages and why not include some other vegetables like peas into the recipe whilst it cooks too?
