Tinned lentils NEVER taste as good, so try getting your hands on a pressure cooker, your lentils will cook in no time... oh and you dont have to worry about it after you've screwed the lid on! Hassel free :) Ooh my dads been making this for years!!

He is a big fan of the slow cooked meal, so when I saw this recipe posted I organised a cooking date immediately. We really bastardised the recipe though. We replaced both the main ingrediants with alternatives, using green lentils (no french lentils at Preston Safeway) and good quality lamb sausages (he had them sitting in his freezer). It took about an hour and a half to cook all up. The result was a rich and delicious ragu/stew that we ate without any accompaniment, aside from the bottle each of red wine that we drank over the course of the evening. Thanks guys!

I'm not too sure if tinned lentils would work as they are usually a bit soggy from being in the water of the tin? The puy lentils will take about an hour to two hours to cook after adding the bay leaves and are ready when they are cooked through but still firm or 'al-dente'. Puy lentils are usually available at deli's and some supermarkets or places that have a lot of pulses. Also, they are sometimes called french lentils. Let us know how you go! Goodluck!
