How to make it
Heat oil in a large casserole dish. Add the bacon & sausages and cook for 10 mins, stirring & turning the sausages occasionally until nicely browned & sticky. Remove sausages and set aside.
Add some more olive oil, onions, carrots & garlic to the bacon and cook for 4 mins until softened. Return the sausages to the pan

Bring to the boil & simmer rapidly for 5 mins, then lower heat & simmer slowly for 1 hour. Be sure to stir occasionally. Check the lentils to make sure they are soft to squeeze but still have a little bite to them.
Serve with fresh parsley sprinkled over the top & some sour cream.
