Ingredients

Scale

Sausages and Protein

  • 6 pork or beef sausages (preferably with natural casing)

Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Spices and Sauce Base

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste or 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

Liquids

  • 1 cup stock (vegetable, chicken, or beef) or water
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive oil)

Optional Additions

  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
  • Chopped chili or cayenne pepper for heat
  • Coconut milk or cream (2-3 tablespoons) for creaminess
  • Diced bell peppers, peas, or potatoes for extra veggies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausages: Prick the sausages several times with a fork to prevent bursting. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the sausages on all sides until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In the same pan, add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions soften and become fragrant.
  3. Build the curry base: Sprinkle the curry powder over the aromatics and stir well to evenly coat and release the spices’ aromas. Add tomato paste or diced tomatoes and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and deepens in color.
  4. Simmer with stock: Pour in the stock or water to create a smooth sauce. Return the sausages to the pan, nestling them into the curry sauce. Reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sausages to cook through completely.
  5. Finishing touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a pinch of sugar if desired. Stir in optional cream or coconut milk if using. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality sausages for the best flavor and texture.
  • Take your time browning sausages for a rich, caramelized exterior.
  • Toast the curry powder briefly in oil to enhance its depth.
  • Add stock gradually to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
  • For extra umami, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce.
