In a large soup pot, combine the lentils, salt, studded onion, and thyme with enough water to cover.

In a medium-size skillet, let the butter melt over medium heat; add in the onion; stir/saute for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
6
Arrange half the sausages in the bottom of a greased 2 1/2 quart casserole dish; scatter half the lentils over the sausages; then spoon half the onion over the top.
7
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8
Layer the remaining lentils over the onion, then layer the remaining onion; arrange the remaining sausages on top.

Pour on the wine, and bake in a 350 oven for about 30 minutes or until the sausages are nicely browned.
