Crockpot or Solar Cooker: Sausage and Lentil Casserole

Comfort food: I serve this with creamy mashed organic potatoes - divine! The quality of the sausage makes all the difference in this dish, so try to use the best you can afford. Beef sausages work just as well as lamb.




Ingredients

750g organic lamb or beef sausages, sliced
1/2 cup lentils of your choice
1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup carrot, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
800g tin diced tomatoes
2 cups water
pinch dried basil and oregano
bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt

Method:

1. Brown sausages in a pan, and drain fat off.

2. Add to the crockpot/ black solar cooker dishes with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours in a crockpot, or around 8 hours in a solar cooker.
