Lentils and Sausages

== Description ==
* 4 servings
== Ingredients ==
* 300 g (10 oz) lentils
* 4 sausages
* 1 cup tomato purée
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic
* 1 stick celery
* 1 small piece chilli pepper
* salt
== Directions ==
# Soak the lentils in water for 12 hours.
# Drain and cook in salted water for about 30 minutes — bear in mind that this type cooks pretty quickly.
# When the cooking time is nearly through, add 1 clove garlic and a piece of celery to be removed when you strain the lentils — remove from the heat when still slightly al dente.
# Mince the other garlic clove and the rest of the celery and fry gently with the oil in a saucepan over a moderate to low heat for 3–4 minutes.
# Turn the heat up slightly, add the sausage and brown for 3 minutes; pour in the tomato purée along with the chilli pepper.
# Simmer for 20 minutes or until the sausages are nearly done, pour in the lentils, a cup of water, and season with salt.
# Cover the pot and leave to gain flavour over a low heat for about 20 minutes, moistening if necessary, with boiling water: the dish should be somewhat rich and dense.
