Finishing the baking on a wire rack in stage 10 is not essential, but will give you the really crisp base that is often tricky to achieve with puff pastry.
Keeping: Should be eaten the same day.

Sausage and lentils "en cocotte"
This is a casserole-style version of the traditional French sausage-and-lentils recipe with a special feature: the lentils are cooked in just the right amount of water. The other ingredients add flavour as does, most importantly, the sausage (preferably smoked). When pricked, this will release its full flavour into the lentils during cooking. Not only will the lentils be perfectly cooked and extra-tasty, thanks to the sausage, they are ideal to serve with the sausage itself. February 5th 2017168 K4.5 1 hour 5 min.
