Ingredients
- spicy sausages good quality 4 (or more if you wish)

- 1 capsicum de-seeded and chopped
- 400 g chopped tomatoes 2x tins

- 1½ cups brown lentil uncooked
- 2 cups pumpkin diced
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
- In a large frying pan brown the sausages. Toss in the onion, celery and capsicum and cook until beginning to soften. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and 1 tablespoon of the pesto, then heat until simmering.
- Remove the sausages from the pan and cut them into chunks before returning them to the mixture (if the sausages are fresh rather than dried cut them at the end of the cooking).
- Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, add the lentils, vegetables, stock and sugar, stir.
- Cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. When cooked, stir in the additional tablespoon of pesto and serve in warmed bowls with crusty bread.
