ingredients
- 0.22 lb green lentils

- 2 bockwurst
-
Serve with
- sugar
- mustard
- vinegar
directions
- To make the stew, peel and cut the vegetables into chunks and place them into a pan with the lentils and stock.
- Bring to the boil and add the bayleaf and all spice berries. Check the seasoning and adjust salt if needed.
- Simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes.
- The bockwurst can either be placed on top of the stew the last 10 minutes or poached/ steamed separately if you want the stew to remain vegetarian.
-
The important bits are all served at the table:
- (Cider Vinegar, German or Dijon Mustard, Sugar, Bread).
- Everyone can season the stew as they like it.
- The sweet and sour is a must try, it is surprisingly good!
- The bockwurst loves a bit of mustard, too.
