Description
20-Minute Curried Sausages: A quick and comforting one-pan meal featuring browned sausages in a rich, aromatic curry gravy with vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 600g/1.2lb sausages (pork, beef, or chicken)
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 2 cups/500ml chicken stock/broth
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, halved and sliced
- 1 carrot, diagonal slices
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Brown the sausages. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. They don’t need to be cooked through completely. Transfer to a plate and slice diagonally into bite-sized pieces if you’d like.
- Sauté aromatics. In the same pan with those flavorful sausage drippings, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Develop curry flavor. Add the curry powder to the onion mixture and stir constantly for 30 seconds to bloom the spices, releasing their essential oils and aromas.
- Create the roux. Sprinkle the flour over the curry and onion mixture, stirring constantly for another 30 seconds.
- Form the gravy. Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add vegetables. Stir in the sliced carrots, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Return sausages and add peas. Place the browned sausages back into the pan and add the frozen peas straight from the freezer.
- Simmer to perfection. Bring everything to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens to a silky consistency.
- Rest briefly. Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes.
- Serve hot. Ladle generously over mashed potatoes, rice, or your preferred base.
Notes
- Bloom spices by cooking the curry powder with onions and garlic for better flavor.
- Do not boil the sausages; browning gives more flavor.
- Adjust gravy consistency by adding stock if too thick or simmering longer if too thin.
- Use the same pan throughout to incorporate flavor-packed browned bits into the gravy.
