Here’s a simple and flavorful Curried Sausages recipe—a classic comfort food with a mildly spiced, savory sauce.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 lb (450g) sausages (pork, beef, or chicken)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste or ketchup
- 1 cup beef or chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, balances acidity)
- 1/4 cup cream or coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
1. Brown the sausages:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Brown the sausages on all sides (they don’t need to be fully cooked). Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the aromatics:
- In the same skillet, sauté onions until soft.
- Add garlic, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Make the sauce:
- Stir in tomato paste, stock, salt, pepper, and sugar.
- Return sausages to the skillet.
- Simmer 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until sausages are cooked through and sauce thickens.
4. Add cream (optional):
- Stir in cream or coconut milk for a richer, milder curry sauce.
5. Serve:
- Garnish with parsley or cilantro.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a small diced apple or sliced bell pepper to the sauce.
- Use mild curry powder for a gentle heat, or add chili flakes for spicier sausages.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
