Sausages & lentils with herb relish from From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves (page 142) by Diana Henry

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Glorious recipe - I’ve made this over and over. The relish is a big hit in my house, so I double the quantity, mixing mint with parsley.

    This is delicious and is really elevated by the herb relish which I made with dill, parley and a little basil. Took a bit longer to cook than the recipe but pretty sure that was because my lentils were best before 2024. My sausages browned beautifully in the oven cooking phase (in a cast iron pan) so no need to be too fussy on the initial brown.

    Perfect winter warmer! I forgot to get pancetta so used some bacon I had on hand. The flavours were delicious and the relish was a perfect accompaniment. I used pork and sage sausages so resisted the urge to add some chilli flakes.

    yummy easy supper dish; forgiving of estimates rather than precision. relish is a must

    This was the first recipe I made from this book. It was delicious and easy. The herb relish elevated it to a higher level i.e supper party fodder. On my 'favourite' list.

    Had to scale this down to a 10 inch pan. Fortunately, it was fairly forgiving, and like other reviewers I was very happy with the result. The relish is delicious, and versatile. I used turkey sausages and they worked well.

    Yes, can honestly say I really enjoyed this. Was slightly winging it as I made a single portion just for me but it worked out just fine. Was fully intending on making the herb relish but was working in another room and completely forgot about it until the main dish was cooked.... one for next time!

    Really lovely flavor combination. The herb relish is excellent and finishing the dish in one pan in the oven makes it a really easy weeknight dinner. Will definitely make again.

    The recipe says to be sure to use the recommended pan size to ensure lentils cook properly. However, the pan size is not listed in the recipe. I emailed Diana Henry, who was kind enough to respond that it should be a 30 cm dish (12 inches) which was left out of the US version. FYI.

    I was a bit concerned that cooking the sausages like this would be a bit rubbery, but they weren't at all. Really nice combination. I used white wine vinegar in the herb relish because the lemon I thought I had I didn't. Very successful.
