    I loved it, my husband loved it. I will definitely be making this again. I topped it with a sunnyside-up egg. Delicious. Next time I'll use a duck egg.

    FYI - Puy lentils are also known as French Green Lentils

    Just 3 Thoughts~de Puy Lentils name in U.S. And Rinse the Onions in a seive over cool water and let drain before cooking. Really takes that harsh taste out.Plus, in fridge for 15 minutes whole will help stop the tears from cutting Onions.A high Protein dish. Has more than You realise.Legumes taste wonderfull in this, especially the de Puy.

    This was lovely, fast, easy, inexpensive, and tasty. I had to make a few modifications based on what I had, but I didn't stray far from the original concept. I happened to have a package of Trader Joe's imported, cooked, steamed and packaged lentils (from the fridge section so I didn't need to cook lentils first as this recipe requires. I wanted a new way to serve them, so, I coated my pan with garlic infused oil and browned the sausages and onions in the same pan, and when they were brown, deglazed the pan with the red wine and brought it to a bubble, and then stirred in the cooked lentils and simmered the sausages and the lentils until the sausages were cooked and the liquid reduced. My only other modification was to add a few dabs of butter and some whole mushroom caps to the pan as it was bubbling, so that I had a garlic wine buttery gravy, with mushrooms. It was absolutely fantastic. I can picture having this all winter long.

    This was just lovely & so easy! The only change I made was to add a dessertspoon of Jalapeno relish + 1/2tsp soft brown sugar to the gravy 'cos I thought it was a tad bitter and it transformed the whole dish. Will definitely be making it again!

    This recipe was very delicious! I have even suggested it to a good friend. And for a dried product, lentils cook very fast. I shall be experimenting with ways to modify the dish. My spouse, nor I, have never tried lentils before and with this outcome, I am sure that it won't be the last.

    I normally don't bother taking the time to write reviews here but I just made this and it was absolutely brilliant. I used turkey sausages, upped the garlic in well, everything, and I forgot to buy wine so I just used pomegranate juice, a dash of soy sauce, and some dijon mustard for the sauce. In the lentils I added some dried thyme and cumin. TOO GOOD. I love you NIgella. PLease marry me.

    I was kind of skeptical when I first read this recipe because it didn't seem like there was much to it. But honestly it is fantastic. There is so much flavor just from these few ingredients. The fat from the sausage, the wine, and the garlic just make a delicious sauce. Easy and delicious, can't get better than that!
