Chorizo & Lentil Ragout

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Total Time: 35 Minutes

Servings: 4

Sausages, such as chorizo, already have so much built-in flavour. Combined with mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, and green lentils, this is a simple yet delicious sauce which can be served over your favourite pasta, or served alongside crusty garlic toast.
