Grilled Fennel Sausages, Lentils and Green Sauce

Italian delis often supply a range of coarse sausages, usually bound with old-fashioned butchers string. Those seasoned with fennel are fantastic. Serving them with lentils and salsa verde is a classic eagle treatment. Because of their coarse texture, Italian sausages are ideal for braising but can burst when grilled or fried. This is best avoided by a quick blanching trick, which we will talk you through.
