SAUSAGES WITH BRAISED LENTILS.

Place one cup of dried  French lentils in to 3 cups of boiling water
Boil till lentils start to soften and water reduces  ( about 20 minutes )
To the reduced  lentil stock add
2. cloves of garlic chopped,
1. glass of white wine
continue to simmer on a low heat..
 Brown 3 red or brown onions with a drizzle of oil in a hot pan, once the onions soften ,
add
 4 slices of chopped prosciutto
2. small carrots thinly sliced
2. stalks of celery  thinly sliced
Mix all together  and transfer to the lentil mix
Cover with a lid slightly ajar , keeping the pan on a low heat

Now prepare your sausages ... I used kangaroo sausages ( 8 to a pack )
Straight under the griller and cook through

Before you plate up quickly prepare a balsamic glaze to round out the flavours....
Mix a half a cup of white balsamic vinegar with  180 g of fig jam ( fig jam will do when figs are out of season ) in a bowl with 2 tbs of water.

To serve plate the lentils on a serving dish , lay the sausages at an angle  across the lentils and drizzle glaze over the lot ..
Enjoy
