It is a reasonably priced recipe for fans of Mediterranean food. A mixture of parsley, onion, water, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so flavorful. To use up the salt you could follow this main course with the Apple Turnovers Recipe as a dessert.

Instructions

To cook the lentils, put 23 tablespoons of the oil into a good-sized saucepan (and one that has a lid that fits) on the heat and when its warm add the chopped onion.

Ingredients you will need

Lentils

Onion

Cooking Oil

Equipment you will use

Sprinkle with salt (which helps prevent its browning) and cook over a low to medium heat till soft (about 5 minutes).

Ingredients you will need

Salt

Add the lentils, stir well and then cover generously with cold water. Bring to the boil, then cover and let simmer gently for half an hour or so until cooked and most, if not all, the liquids absorbed. I dont add salt at this stage since the sauce provided by the sausages later (and which will be poured over the lentils) will be pretty salty itself. So, wait and taste. And remember, you can of course cook the lentils in advance.

Anyway, when either the lentils are nearly ready or youre about to reheat them, put a heavy-based frying pan on the burner, cover with a film of oil and add the bruised garlic. Cook for a few minutes then add and brown the sausages. When the sausages are brown on both sideswhich wont take more than 5 minutes or sothrow in the wine and water and let bubble up. Cover the pan, either with a lid or aluminum foil, and cook for about 15 minutes. Using a fork, mash the now-soft garlic into the sauce and taste for seasoning, adding a little more water if its too strong.

Servings:

Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Italian. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. You could try Castello di Meleto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 62 dollars per bottle.
