Method

  1. Place a frying pan over a high heat then add the sausages and pancetta and cook until brown on all sides. Remove and set aside. This will take 4–5 minutes.

  2. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic to the same pan, reduce the heat and sweat for 10 minutes until soft.

  3. Add the lentils, thyme and bay leaf.

  4. Pour in the red wine and reduce by half, then add the stock and reduce by half again. This will take 5–8 minutes.

  5. Add the sausages and bacon back to the pan and simmer for a few minutes until cooked through.

  6. To serve, add a big spoonful of soft mash to a plate, top with the lentils and sausages and then the poached egg and chives.
