■ Serves 4 ■ Prep 20 mins ■ Cook 50 mins
8 sausages
2 tbsp olive oil
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 rosemary sprigs, 1 chopped
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
175g dried green lentils, rinsed
400g can chopped tomatoes
700ml chicken or vegetable stock
1kg potatoes, cut into chunks
150ml milk
1 Fry the sausages in 1 tbsp oil in a casserole dish until brown. Remove. Tip in the carrots, celery and onion and cook for 10 mins, adding the chopped rosemary and half the garlic for the final minute. Add the lentils, tomatoes and stock. Return the sausages to the dish. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 mins. Take off the lid and cook for a further 10-15 mins until the lentils are soft. Season.
2 Meanwhile, boil the potatoes until tender. In another pan, heat the milk, remaining garlic and rosemary sprig until just about to boil, then turn off heat. Drain the potatoes well.
3 Sieve the hot milk over the potatoes and mash with the remaining oil, then season. Serve with the stew.
