Recipe variation 1: To make a quick lentil stew, use tinned lentils. Cook the cubed potatoes in 750 ml/11/4 pints (31/2 cups) vegetable stock, with the lid on, over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Then add the sausages, cover and cook for a further 5 minutes. Finally add 1 can of lentils with soup vegetables (800 g/13/4 lb), then cook all together for another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar. Recipe variation 2: To make a vegetarian lentil stew (photograph 1), increase the amount of potatoes to 500–600 g/18–20 oz and leave out the sausages. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan just before serving. Recipe variation 3: To make a squash and lentil stew (photograph 2), peel 3 onions and 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop both. Remove the seeds from 500 g/18 oz squash, peel and cut the flesh into chunks. Prepare 200 g/7 oz celery sticks (stalks) and remove the outer stringy fibres. Rinse the celery, leave to drain and chop into pieces. Peel 450 g/1 lb potatoes, rinse, leave to drain and cut into cubes. Rinse 100 g/31/2 oz lentils in cold water and leave to drain. Heat 2 tablespoons pumpkin seed oil (or if not available, sunflower oil) in a pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and fry (sauté) lightly. Add the prepared vegetables together with the lentils and 1 litre/13/4 pints (41/4 cups) vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, cover and cook for 20–25 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile cut 200 g/7 oz frankfurters into thick slices. Rinse 1 bunch of lemon thyme, pat dry and remove the leaves from the stems. Add the sliced sausage and lemon thyme to the hot-pot, cover and cook for a further 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper just before serving and, optionally, sprinkle 2 tablespoons pumpkin seed oil on top.
