Sous vide Cumberland sausages in onion soup with red lentils

This recipe would probably work just as well in a slow cooker, but as I've cracked my crockpot, sous vide it is.

I browned the sausages first just so they have a little colour. Cooked at 71°C (159.8°F), the lentils would still not be properly cooked so I boiled them for 10 minutes first. Different lentils may need longer cooking.

I've used Debbie & Andrew's Cumberland sausages, but any good quality would do.

I found the Heinz onion soup to be too sweet for my test so I would try an alternative next time. A total success nonetheless.

• 1 pack (6) Debbie and Andrew's Butcher's Classic Cumberland Sausages
• 140 g dried red lentils
• 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, peeled, smashed and chopped
• Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
• 1 can French Onion soup

Mise en place

• Pop the sous vide bath on to preheat to 71°C (159.8°F)

Method

1. Rinse the lentils in cold running water then boil for 10 minutes, skim and discard any scum. , test them before bagging up as they won't get much softer being cooked sous-vide.
2. Drain them in a sieve.

4. Sprinkle with black pepper and add to a sous vide bag
5. Add the onion soup and lentils to the bag and vacuum seal. If using the Andrew James Professional Quality Vacuum Food Sealer Machine: Vacuum seal, then cancel, then manually seal, allows you to vacuum seal a liquid without drawing it all into the vacuum chamber.
