Ingredients
Scale
- 8 pork or beef sausages
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium apple, peeled and grated (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 2 tbsps (30 g) curry powder
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef or chicken stock
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk or cream
- 2 tsps (10 g) cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sear and Prepare: Heat a large skillet over medium flame, caramelize sausages until golden, then remove and set aside while preserving the cooking remnants.
- Vegetable Foundation: In the same skillet, sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes with olive oil until vegetables become translucent and slightly softened, creating an aromatic base for the dish.
- Spice Activation: Sprinkle curry powder over the vegetable mixture, stirring vigorously to awaken the spices and infuse the base with rich, complex flavors.
- Liquid Integration: Pour chicken stock and coconut milk into the skillet, adding grated apple and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, allowing the ingredients to meld and develop depth.
- Sausage Reunion: Slice sausages into medallions and return them to the simmering sauce. Reduce heat and let the mixture cook slowly, ensuring vegetables become tender and sausages are thoroughly heated.
- Sauce Refinement: Create a cornstarch slurry and incorporate it into the sauce, stirring until the consistency reaches a luxurious, velvety texture that coats the ingredients beautifully.
- Final Flourish: Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve over rice or mashed potatoes, garnishing with fresh herbs to elevate the visual and flavor profile of this comforting dish.
Notes
- Select High-Quality Sausages: Choose robust, flavorful sausages like bratwurst or Italian-style for maximum taste and texture in the curry sauce.
- Control Spice Intensity: Adjust curry powder quantity based on personal heat tolerance; start with less and gradually increase for balanced flavor profile.
- Manage Vegetable Cooking Time: Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent overcooking, maintaining a slight crunch for textural contrast.
- Perfect Sauce Consistency: Whisk cornstarch slurry thoroughly to avoid lumps, adding gradually while stirring to achieve desired sauce thickness without becoming too dense.
