Knackwurst with a lentil & cabbage stew
Method
- Cook the dried lentils in plenty of salted water for 20-25 mins until tender. Then run under cold water, drain well and puree one-third of the lentils.
- In another pot, blanch the sausages in simmering water until they float to the top. Drain well and, when ready, cook on a lightly oiled ridged grill (or BBQ).
- While blanching the sausages, put the butter, onion, leek, zucchini and carrot in a heavy-bottomed pot. Mix well and gently sauté until tender.
- Add the cabbage and briefly cook, tossing to wilt.
- Then add the wine and stock. Mix well and cook down a bit.
- Add the whole and pureed lentils, together with the red wine vinegar, mustard, seasonings and parsley. Turn the heat down, stir and gently cook for 5-10 mins. Taste for seasoning.
- Serve the sausages with the lentil stew on the side and an extra dollop of mustard, if you like.
