Venison Sausages with Mushrooms, Lentils & Chestnuts


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • 600g (8 thick) venison sausages
  • 4 shallots, peeled and halved
  • 250g (8 oz) mushrooms
  • 180g (6 oz) cooked chestnuts
  • 250g (8 oz) cooked lentils
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) beef stock

Instructions

  1. Fry the sausages on a high heat in the oil in a large saucepan until browned on all sides.
  2. Add the shallots and lower the heat.
  3. Once the shallots have softened, add the mushrooms and continue to stir everything until the mushrooms are almost cooked.
  4. Next add the chestnuts, lentils, stock, puree, vinegar, honey and thyme.
  5. Turn up the heat and let the casserole bubble away while stirring vigorously.
