Sausage and lentils "en cocotte" (Slideshow version)
Stage 8/8 :
Serve either at the table, straight from the dish, or plated up, with the sausage cut into thick slices.Remarks
It is important to get the proportion of water to lentils right, otherwise they will be either too dry or too soggy. The ideal amount for this cooking method is 2.5 times as much water as lentils.Of course, you don't have to use Morteau sausage ("Oh, really?!" folks from the Franc-Comtois region might say...), any other good smoked sausage will do.
For an even tastier dish, you can use vegetable stock instead of plain water.
