Every week you send us thousands of replies to the recipe survey and we read every. single. one. of. them. That means every week you get to help shape the future menus we send out. That said, Head Chef Patrick isn’t a big fan of kale so this trendy little superfood hasn’t had many outings. Chef Rachel snuck this one through on the sly and even he had to admit it was awesome!

Peel and then finely chop the onion and garlic. Peel the carrots and cut into carrot sticks, then thinly slice those sticks widthways to make flat squares - see the picture for the shape.
Cut the tomatoes in half and use a teaspoon to remove the seeds and discard. Roughly chop the tomato flesh.
Put 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Once hot add the sausages and brown them off on all sides for about 4 mins.
Remove the sausages from the pan and add the onions and carrots. Gently cook until soft over a medium heat for about 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins.
Return the sausages to the pan along with the drained lentils. Add the mustard, half the stock pot and 100ml of water. Add the thyme and tomatoes and cook on a medium-low heat for 20 mins. Season with ¼ tsp of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Wash the spring greens and roughly tear the leaves, discarding any tough parts. Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a medium sized pot on medium-low heat. Once hot add the greens, ¼ tsp of salt and pepper and cover with a lid and cook for 5 mins. Tip: The water from washing the greens will be enough to cook the leaves.
Taste everything for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary. Check the greens are soft enough to eat and if you have some butter you can add a knob as a decadent touch! Serve the casserole on your plates, sprinkle over some chopped parsley, add the greens to the side and enjoy!
