Ingredients:

2 cloves

Garlic (peeled)

Directions:

1

First things first; get your salsa on the go

2

Put a little olive oil into a pan, add the onion and sliced garlic, throw in the cinnamon stick and a good crumbling of chili, and fry on a gentle heat for 10 minutes, until the onions are soft and sweet

3

Now turn the heat up and add your red wine vinegar — it will steam and might even make you cough but this is a normal reaction! Then turn the heat down to low and add your canned tomatoes, chopped up

4

Simmer slowly for half an hour while you get on with your lentils

5

Preheat the oven to 400°F

6

Put the lentils into a pot, cover them with water, and add the 2 whole cloves of garlic, the bay leaf, and some tied-up stems from the parsley

7

Simmer for around 20 minutes, making sure that you've got enough liquid covering the lentils

8

Toss your sausages in a little olive oil and put them in a roasting pan in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden and crisp

9

Drop your broccoli into a pot of boiling water for a few minutes when the sausages come out of the oven

10

When done, drain in a colander and toss in a bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and some extra virgin olive oil

11

Once the lentils are cooked, remove the parsley stems and bay leaf and pour away most of the water from the pot

12

Mash the garlic cloves up with a spoon, mix in with the lentils, and dress them using 4 tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil and 1 or 2 tablespoons of good vinegar

13

Throw in all your finely chopped parsley leaves, mix, and season

14

Remove the sausages from the roasting pan and pour away any fat

15

Tip the lentils into your serving bowls

16

Remove the cinnamon stick from the salsa rossa and discard it, then season well to taste and spoon it over your lentils

17

Place 2 sausages, either sliced or whole, on top

18

Sprinkle with the thyme and serve with a big bowl of steaming broccoli
