Lentil and Toulouse Sausage Casserole recipe
information
This casserole, Lentilles-Saucisses a 1'Ancienne, is another old favourite: easy to make, completely stress-free and very versatile. It's great with country bread and strong red wine if you want a hot meal in a hurry. Toulouse sausages are made with pure pork and a generous amount of garlic. They vary from shop to shop according to personal recipes, so keep trying until you find your perfect one, or, if you prefer, use any other favourite sausage.
