Method
5 steps · about 55 min- Rinse the rice. Put it in a medium saucepan with the 360 g water, bring to the boil, stir once, then cover and cook on the lowest heat for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes.
- Heat the canola oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat. Brown the sausages for 8–10 minutes, turning, until coloured all over. Move to a board and slice into 2 cm pieces; they will finish cooking in the sauce.
- In the same pan, cook the onions and carrots for 6 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and curry powder for 1 minute, then the plain flour for 30 seconds.
- Gradually stir in the 600 g water, then add the red lentils, grated apple and sultanas. Return the sausages, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 18–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils have broken down into a thick sauce and the sausages reach 71°C in the centre.
- Stir in the frozen peas and simmer for 3 minutes until hot. Serve over the rice.
