🌶️ Easy Mid-Week Curried Sausages
Serves: 4-5
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
🛒 Ingredients:
From YourMarket:
- 1 pack Swiss Bratwurst (750g total)
- 1kg potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks
- 2 brown onions (500g), sliced
- 4 cloves Australian garlic, minced
- 400g gourmet tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 jar Burton's Lane Curry Paste
- Fresh coriander bunch for garnish
Pantry staples:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 400ml coconut cream
- 2 cups beef or vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
🔪 Instructions:
1. Brown the sausages: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausages and brown all over (about 5-6 minutes). Remove and set aside – they don't need to be fully cooked yet.
2. Build the base: In the same pan, add remaining oil and sauté onions until softened (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the curry paste: Add 2-3 tablespoons of Burton's Lane Curry Paste (adjust to taste). Stir for 30 seconds until aromatic and everything is well coated.
4. Add the vegetables: Add potatoes, carrots, and chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat everything in that gorgeous curry paste.
5. Simmer and develop: Pour in coconut cream and stock, and season with salt and pepper. Return sausages to the pan, nestling them into the vegetables.
6. Let it bubble: Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Cook for 15-18 minutes until potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. The sausages will be perfectly cooked and have absorbed all those wonderful curry flavours.
7. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning - you can add more curry paste if you want extra heat. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve immediately.
Serving suggestions: Perfect over steamed basmati rice, with warm naan bread, or even crusty sourdough from Racine Bakery for dipping into that gorgeous sauce.
Mum's tip: This recipe is brilliant for meal prep! It actually tastes even better the next day as the flavours continue to develop. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for those really hectic weeks.
