Recipe by Gaz Oakley

Ingrédients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 an onion, chopped small
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 portobello mushrooms, chopped small
  • 100g walnuts
  • 1 x 250g pouch of Merchant Gourmet Simply Cooked Puy Lentils
  • 100g cooked sweet potato
  • 1 tbsp chipotle paste
  • 1/4 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 5 tbsp heaped plain flour
  • 25g dried breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • OPTIONAL GARNISHES

  • Hot dog rolls
  • Mustard
  • Ketchup
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
  • Crispy onions

Méthode

  1. First up, sauté the onion, garlic & mushrooms over a medium heat in a little olive oil until golden, make sure all the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms. Once sautéed, transfer the mix from the pan to a bowl.
  2. Add the walnuts to your food processor & blitz them to a crumb. Next add the Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils & sweet potato to the food processor, pulse 2-3 times to lightly break up the potato & lentils.
  3. Add the walnuts, sweet potato & lentils to the bowl with the mushrooms, onion & garlic, followed by all the remaining sausage ingredients. Mix well with a spatula. The sausage mix should be relatively dry but if your mixture feels too wet, add a little more flour or breadcrumbs.
  4. Lightly flour your hands then form the mixture into around 8-10 sausages.
  5. The sausages are now ready to be cooked on your BBQ, or alternatively in a non-stick frying pan or oven.
  6. For BBQ cooking, I recommend cooking the sausage over hot coals rather than a naked flame. Make sure your grill is clean and greased well with a little oil. Grill the sausages for 7-8 minutes turning them carefully every now and then.
  7. Alternatively, for cooking them in a pan, pre heat your non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and sauté the sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning them over every now and then.
  8. I serve my hot dogs topped with all my favourite trimmings such as finely chopped onion & pepper, crispy onion, mustard and ketchup.
  9. The sausages can be pre-made and stored in your fridge for up to 2-3 days before cooking.

Good to know!

Puy Lentils are high in protein, fibre and one of your 5 a day.
