Sausages aren’t good for you. We all know that! However, most people eat them. We eat processed meat no more than one every 1 to 2 weeks in our house. I’m not mad on them, but the kids adore them. I want them to grow up with all foods on the menu. Their relationship with food is one of the most important relationships they will have. So, although they can survive without them, and they’re not considered an everyday food, I limit them but include them.
If you want to cook this but exclude the sausages, please do! I’m sure this dinner would be lovely as it is, or with the likes of chicken or paneer (I know… I’m paneer mad 🙂 ).
If you’ve an issue with garlic, garlic infused oil is a FODMAP friendly option.
What you need
- 8 high meat sausages
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 3 carrots, roughly chopped into small pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2-3 tsp dried parsley
- 300g red lentils
- 1½ pints chicken stock (I use 1 stock pot and hot water)
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
How to make it
- Cook the sausages for a few minutes until browned. Scoop the sausages out onto a plate. (You can use the airfryer either!)
- Add the onions and carrot. Cook for about 10 minutes on a low heat.
- Next add the garlic and herbs.
- After 2 miunutes add in the lentils, stock and tomatoes. Bring to the boil and then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Feeds a family!
