TRTLMT Sausage and Red Lentil Casserole 
An original recipe by The road to loving my Thermomix 

 
 8 sausages
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
1 large zucchini, roughly chopped
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 leek, roughly chopped
6 slices short cut bacon, diced
10g olive oil
100g water
400g tinned tomatoes
1 or 2 large tablespoons vegetable stock paste
50g dried red lentils
Cracked pepper

Place sausages in the large varoma bowl. Set aside for now.
Place carrot and zucchini in the bowl. Blitz on speed 8 for 5 secs. Place into a bowl and set aside. You could use any vegetables you like at this stage.
Place onions, leek and garlic into bowl. Blitz on speed 9 for 5 secs. Scrape down. Repeat.
Add bacon and oil. Place varoma tray on top
Cook at 100 degrees, 5 minutes, reverse, speed 2.
Once done take the varoma off, add carrot and zucchini mix, water, lentils, tomatoes, pepper and stock to tmx bowl and put the varoma back in place.
Cook at varoma temperature, 15 minutes, reverse, speed 2.
Once done remove the varoma tray. Remove skins from sausages and slice.
Attach the butterfly to the bowl.
Add the sausages. Cook at 100 degrees, 5 minutes, reverse, speed 1.
I put the sausage mixture in the Thermoserver, wash the bowl out and make EDC mash to serve it on. You could serve this over rice, pasta, cous cous etc instead. You can also steam additional vegetables along with the sausages to serve on the side of needed.
