1
Rinse the lentils well to remove any grit. Heat half the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and saute the onion over medium-heat for a few minutes until it is lightly golden and softened. Add the carrot, celery and garlic, saute for another couple of minutes to soften them all. Add the lentils, turning them through the mixture to coat well and then add 4 cups of hot water: season with salt and bring to a boil, then lower the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for about 40 minutes, until the lentils are soft and there is very little liquid left in the pan.

Meanwhile, prick the sausages here and there. Fry them in 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick frying pan until they are golden brown on all sides, adding more oil if it's needed. Make sure they are cooked through. When the lentils are done, stir in the parsley and add the sausages. Taste for salt, heat through for a minute or two, and then serve with a drizzle of olive oil over the lentils. Some adults may like a drizzling of chile oil over theirs.
