This is a recipe that I recently made up after trying to put together a number of ingredients we had in stock! Completely experimental first time round, but I’ve made it again several times and seems to always come out very tasty. This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients:

500g sieved/pureed tomatoes
8 thick sausages
Handful of puy lentils
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp mixed herbs
250g Japenese style noodles or rice noodles (which are gluten-free)

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
Cut up the sausages into 4 pieces per sausage and put in a suitable, reasonably large, bakeware tray.
Cook sausages in oven for 20 mins whilst you prepare the sauce.
Put the puy lentils into another saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil for 5-7 minutes until the lentils are soft.
Pour the sieved tomatoes into a large saucepan.
Heat the sauce through slowly while the lentils are boiling.
When the lentils are soft, add to the tomatoes.
Add the cayenne pepper and paprika to the sauce and mix thoroughly.
When the sausages have cooked for 20 mins, remove from the over, cover with the sauce and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through.
Cook the noodles as per the instructions on the packet.
Serve noodles on a plate and then place the sausages and sauce over the top.
