We'd never thought of smoked lean sausage as a standby until reader Frank Calver suggested it via the Internet. The sausage easily elevates simple canned lentils into a savoury rustic casserole. Canned navy or black beans would work here as well.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 oz smoked sausages, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1/4 tsp dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) lentils, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 pinch pepper
- Topping:
- 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Preparation
In large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until softened.
Add sausage, carrots and herb seasoning; cook for 5 minutes or until sausage is golden brown. Add lentils, chicken stock and pepper; cook for 5 minutes or until hot.
Topping: Combine bread crumbs, cheese and oil; sprinkle over sausage mixture. Broil for 1 minute or until golden.
