Directions

1. heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Add the fennel and toss to coat.

3. Cut away the peel and white pith of the orange and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Add them to the bowl along with the lentils, scallions and spinach and toss to combine. Serve with the sausages.

4. Use up the fennel: Combine thinly sliced fennel, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve on top of salami sandwiches, arugula salad or alongside seared sausages or lamb chops.
