Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 600 grams (1.2 pounds) sausages, of choice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, halved and sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled, sliced on the diagonal
- 1 cup peas, frozen
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 0.5 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder, or more
- 3 tablespoons flour, any type
- 2 cups (500 milliliters) chicken stock/broth, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Sear sausages in a hot skillet with oil over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and slice diagonally for easier eating.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and onions until fragrant and translucent, approximately 2 minutes.
- Dust the aromatic mixture with curry powder, stirring to release its rich flavors. Sprinkle flour and blend quickly to create a thickening base.
- Slowly stream chicken stock into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Incorporate sliced carrots, sugar, salt, and pepper, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and consistent.
- Reintroduce sliced sausages to the sauce, adding frozen peas. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and vegetables soften.
- Plate the curried sausages over your preferred accompaniment like mashed potato, rice, or cauliflower mash. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by using high-quality sausages with robust meat content for a richer taste profile.
- Choose curry powder carefully, as different brands offer varying heat levels and complexity in spice blend.
- Slice sausages diagonally before cooking to increase surface area for better caramelization and sauce absorption.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet during sausage browning to ensure proper color and prevent steaming instead of searing.
- Create smoother sauce by whisking chicken stock slowly and consistently to prevent flour lumps.
- Substitute dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk for chicken stock to make recipe allergen-friendly.
- Control sauce thickness by adjusting flour quantity or simmering duration for desired consistency.
- Elevate nutrition by adding extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini during the simmering stage.
