Sausage and Lentil Casserole: 8 WeightWatchers ProPoints

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes

1 onion chopped into wedges

1 leek finely sliced

4 small carrots

Low calorie cooking spray

150 g dried puy lentils

200 ml fiesty red wine bordeaux or burgandy

500 ml chicken stock from a cube

8 low-fat pork sausages

1 400 g tin chopped tomatoes

Spray a flame-proof casserole dish with the cooking spray and fry the veg over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until softened.

Add the wine and let bubble, then add the stock and bring to a simmer.

Meanwhile wash the lentils in cold water, then cover in a pan with cold water. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and fry the sausages until browned.

Drain the lentils and add to the vegetable mixture with the sausages and tomatoes.

Bring to the boil, and cook in the oven at 150°C for 1 hour and 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, and adding water if the lentils look dry.

Alternatively, once bubbling transfer to a slow cooker and cook on medium for around 5-6 hours.

We served this with steamed savoy cabbage. It all went, and seconds were requested! Result!
