1. Soak the lentils in water for 1-2 hours, then rinse and drain.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil, add onions, carrots and thyme and sauté for 3 minutes, then add lentils, stir all ingredients and add water or vegetable stock. Leave to boil until the lentils are cooked, approximately 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a frying pan, add plant-based bacon and cook 2 minutes both sides until crispy, julienne it and add it in the pan.
4. Season the lentils with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Separately, in a frying or grill pan, cook sausages 4 minutes each side.
When cooked, add them over the lentils and boil for 3 more minutes. If needed, add more vegetable stock.
When ready, sprinkle finely-chopped parsley over.
