Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160C (140C fan or Gas Mark 3). Heat the oil in your casserole dish and brown the sausages until fully cooked. Then, remove the sausages from the dish and slice them into thick pieces. Layer your casserole dish with leeks, potatoes, lentils and sausages, topping the final layer with potatoes, reports the Express.

Don't forget to season with bay leaves and cloves, adding garlic cloves to each layer as well. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and pop in the oven. Let it cook slowly for two and a half hours, checking the liquid levels every now and then.

When it's nearly ready, take off the lid and crank up the oven temperature to 200C (180C fan or Gas Mark 6). Continue cooking for another 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes on top are nicely browned. Once it's done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Your easy and delicious sausage bake is now ready to be served hot.
