Nigel Slater’s Sausages With Salami and Lentils
Photo: Beverley Ann D'Cruz
Ingredients
Preparation
1
Peel onions and cut each one in half from the tip to the root, then cut each half into four or five pieces. Warm the oil in a heavy-based casserole, add the onions and let them cook over a moderate heat until tender. Meanwhile, peel the garlic, slice it thinly and add it to the onions. You’ll need to stir them regularly.
2
Peel the thin skin from the salami and cut the inside into fat matchsticks. Add this to the softening onions and leave for a couple of minutes, during which time the salami will darken slightly. (NOTE: If the salami releases too much oil fish out the excess at this stage because it is impossible to do so later).
3
Start cooking the sausages in a non-stick pan. You want them to colour on the outside; they will do most of their cooking once they are in the sauce.

About
Nigel suggests serving it with a bowl of rocket salad. A crusty baguette would also be good to sop up the gravy.
