Ingredients
  

  • tbsp  olive oil
  • x Italian sausages
  • 200g cooking chorizo  halved lengthways
  • garlic cloves  peeled and sliced
  • celery sticks  trimmed and thickly sliced diagonally
  • carrots  peeled and sliced diagonally
  • 200g puy lentils
  • bay leaf
  • sprigs of thyme
  • 600 to 750ml chicken stock
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • flat leaf parsley  chopped, to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat and add a little oil. Fry the sausages for 3 to 4 minutes until coloured on all sides. Remove and set aside. Add the chorizo pieces, cut side down, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they start to release their coloured oil and begin to crisp up. Turn over and colour on the other side for a minute or 2. Remove and set aside with the sausages.
  • Add the garlic, celery and carrots to the pan and stir for 2 minutes until the garlic is tender. Stir in the lentils, then return the sausages and chorizo to the pan with the bay leaf and thyme springs. Stir well.
  • Add 600ml of the stock, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 25 to 30 minutes until the sausages are cooked through, the lentils tender and the stock well flavoured. If the stock levels drop too low while the lentils are cooking, top up with a little of the remaining stock.
  • Discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs and serve the bollito misto in shallow bowls, garnished with the chopped parsley.
