  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped

  • 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.

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
