* 1 harlequin Squash, stem removed, washed and unpeeled

* 1 teaspoon Vegetable bullion
* 2 tablespoons Olive oil or Butter
* Freshly ground black pepper
* 6 Good quality sausages
* 50g Oven-dried tomatoes or sun dried tomatoes
===Method===
* Halve the Squash, scoop out and discard the Seeds
* Place in a pan and cover in Boiling water.
* Add the rinsed red lentils and the bullion and Boil, covered for about 12 minutes or until the squash is soft.
* Carefully remove the squash pieces, and allow to cool a little then scoop the Squash flesh from the skin and add to a bowl, season with Pepper, add the Butter or Oil and Mash with a fork.
* Drain the Lentils and mix in with the Squash mash. The red lentils do tend to beak p but they still add another flavour element to this dish.
* Meanwhile grill the sausages for 10 to 15 minutes, turning now and then.
