Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel the veggies

    Peel the carrot and the onion. Cut them into small, even cubes so they cook evenly.

    Tip · Cut the veggies into cubes of about the same size so none of them cook faster than the others.
  2. Cook the onions

    In the skillet over medium heat, cook half of the chopped onion with a drizzle of olive oil for 2 min, until it turns translucent.

  3. Cook the sausages

    Add the whole sausages to the skillet with the onions. Brown them for 5 min, turning them often, so they're cooked through.

  4. Get the lentils going

    In the saucepan, add the drained lentils with half of the diced carrot. Add 250 ml of water and bring to a boil.

  5. Cook the lentils

    Let the lentils simmer over low heat for 10 min, until they're tender but still firm.

  6. Dress the salad

    In a bowl, mix the drained lentils (keep a little of the cooking water), the sausages cut into rounds, and the rest of the raw carrot and onion. Add the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.

    Tip · If the salad is too dry, add a little of the lentil cooking water to bring it together.
