Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 pork or beef sausages
Vegetables:
- 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)
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) curry powder
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) beef or chicken stock
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) coconut milk or cream
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet or pot over medium heat, searing sausages until golden and lightly caramelized on the exterior. Transfer sausages to a separate plate, reserving the flavorful cooking residue.
- Utilize the same skillet and drizzle olive oil. Introduce finely chopped onions, minced garlic, diced carrots, and cubed potatoes. Gently sauté the vegetables, allowing them to soften and develop a translucent appearance.
- Dust the aromatic vegetable mixture with fragrant curry powder, stirring continuously to activate the spices and release their intense flavors.
- Incorporate chicken or vegetable stock along with creamy coconut milk. Add grated apple and Worcestershire sauce to enhance the depth of flavor. Bring the liquid to a gentle, bubbling simmer.
- Slice sausages into bite-sized medallions or maintain their original form. Reintroduce them to the simmering sauce, reducing heat to low. Allow the mixture to gently cook, ensuring vegetables become tender and sausages reach complete doneness.
- For a more luxurious sauce consistency, create a cornstarch slurry by whisking cornstarch with water. Integrate this mixture into the sauce, stirring until it reaches a desirable thickness.
- Perform a final seasoning assessment, adjusting salt and pepper to personal preference. Present the curried sausages atop a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes, garnishing with fresh herbs for visual appeal and added freshness.
Notes
- Choose high-quality sausages with robust flavors for maximum taste impact.
- Slice sausages before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and faster cooking time.
- Adjust curry powder quantity based on personal spice tolerance and preference.
- Use sweet apples like Gala or Fuji for natural sweetness in the sauce.
- Swap regular stock with vegetable or chicken stock for enhanced depth of flavor.
- For gluten-free version, replace regular Worcestershire sauce with gluten-free alternative.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for increased nutritional value.
- Create a lighter version by using turkey or chicken sausages instead of traditional pork.
- Reduce coconut milk for a less creamy sauce or increase for richer consistency.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or sliced green onions for added texture and freshness.
- Prep vegetables in advance to streamline cooking process and reduce overall time.
- Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days, reheating gently to maintain sauce quality.
