1. Rinse the lentils and simmer for 20 minutes in a pan of salted
water with the thyme, bay leaf, and 1 garlic clove.
2. Steam the leeks for 10 – 15 mins until soft.
3. When the lentils are cooked, drain, remove the garlic, thyme, and
bay leaf, and allow to cool.

bratwursts and garnish with parsley.

Yum!
Totally yummy. I love bratwurst. In the summer (which I wish was here now!) I like to cook them on the grill. Never thought of combining them with lentils or leeks, but it sounds like it would taste just great!
Yummm–come to mama!!! It may be simple, but that is fabulous! Love that. I may run out and get some bratwurst after looking at that picture. :)

This looks perfect. I had something similar with Italian sausages on Puy Lentils recently.
