    Heat 1 tb of oil in a frying pan, brown the sausages all over, then
    add to the casserole. Deglaze the frying pan with a little stock,
    then pour into the casserole. Add the lentils, prunes and remaining
    stock the liquid should barely cover everything, so add water if need
    be bring to a simmer, cover and pop into the oven for an hour to an
    hour and a half. Give it a stir halfway through. Season to taste, and
    serve. This is great with a baked potato and some lightly cooked
    greens.
