450g dried lentils

1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes, drained

1L beef stock

600ml water

1 carrot, chopped

1 kg Polish sausage, cut into 1cm pieces

1 stick celery, chopped

Preparation method

1.		Rinse lentils, but do not soak. In a slow cooker, stir together the lentils, tomatoes, stock, water, carrot, sausage and celery.
2.		Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or Low for 6 to 7 hours. Stir well before serving.

Note

Find Polish sausages, like Kabanos, at the supermarket or a Polish deli. If you can't find any Polish sausage, use a good pork sausage or fresh Spanish chorizo.
