Description
A bold and comforting German-style currywurst made with juicy sausages coated in a sweet, tangy, curry-spiced tomato sauce. Simple ingredients come together to create a richly flavored, nostalgic street-food classic.
Ingredients
6 beef sausages
1 tablespoon oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausages on all sides until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the onion until softened. Add garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, curry powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, cayenne, and water until the sauce is smooth.
- Simmer the sauce for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce.
- Simmer for a few more minutes, then serve hot.
Notes
Use chicken sausages for a lighter version.
Add more cayenne or hot sauce for extra heat.
Replace brown sugar with honey for a different sweetness.
Add a splash of Worcestershire-style sauce for depth.
