Slow cooked sausages with lentils

Serves 2 greedy people or possibly 3 not so greedy people.

Pork sausages x6
Large handful green lentils
1 leek, sliced
Few cloves garlic, sliced
1 stick celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Squidge of tomato puree
Glass of red wine
1 bouquet garni
1 bay leaf
Mixed herbs
Black peppercorns
1 beef stock cube

I put all of the above into my slow cooker along with a bit of water.  Cooked on low for 8hrs.

Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end if need be.

This was really very tasty.  I was worried that the sausages would be a bit anaemic looking but as they were on top they actually browned a little bit.  The lentils kept their shape but were nice and soft.  Ideally I'd do this with puy lentils but not sure how they'd fare in the slow cooker.
