This recipe is a slight variation on [[Harlequin squash mash with Puy lentils]], made with [[red lentils]] and served with sausages and some [[oven-dried tomatoes]] as a relish.

The harlequin [[Squash|squash]] is an ideal size for 2 people and its dense flesh does not turn watery when cooked.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 harlequin [[Squash|squash]], stem removed, washed and unpeeled
| 1 [[scant]] cup of [[red lentils]], rinsed in cold water - no need to pre-soak
| 1 teaspoon [[Vegetable|vegetable]] bullion
| 2 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]] or [[Butter|butter]]
| [[Freshly ground black pepper]]
| 6 Good quality [[sausages]]
| 50g [[Oven-dried tomatoes]] or [[sun dried tomatoes]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Halve the [[Squash|squash]], scoop out and discard the [[Seeds|seeds]]
| Cut the [[Squash|squash]] into 6 pieces cutting from the top, down - as you would segment an [[Orange|orange]]. *See Chef's notes.
| Place in a pan and cover in [[Boiling|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|squash]] flesh from the skin and add to a bowl, season with [[Pepper|pepper]], add the [[Butter|butter]] or [[Oil|oil]] and [[Mash|mash]] with a fork.
| Drain the [[Lentils|lentils]] and mix in with the [[Squash|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.

===Serving suggestions===
Arrange the sausages and squash mash on a plate and serve with a small portion of [[oven dried tomatoes]] as relish.
===Chef's notes===
Since this recipe was made, I now think the best way to prepare small to medium sized [[summer squash]] is just to halve, scoop out the seeds, (as pictured) and then boil the two halves for 12 minutes. Test with a fork and then scoop out the flesh.
