Recipe video above. In this recipe where both lentils and sausages are baked together in the same pan, the lentils absorb the sausage juices as they cook, making the humble lentils tastier than you ever dreamed possible! The recipe starts on the stove sautéing aromatics right in the roasting pan. Any metal pan will work, and it doesn't matter if your stove burner isn't large enough for the roasting pan- mine certainly isn't.Don't skip the cumin seeds. It gives this a special touch!
