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

  • 30ml (2 tbsp) tomato puree
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) cider vinegar

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.
  6. After around 5 minutes, most of the liquid would have evaporated and thickened.
