Ingredients: Serves 6
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 chopped yellow onion
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tbsp quality curry powder
- 1 tsp quality sweet paprika
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 130g ketchup
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 5 tbsp vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 6 German bratwursts, bockwurst, rotwurst or weisswurst
- Extra curry powder for sprinkling
- French fries or crispy bread rolls (Brötchen) for serving
Method:
- Heat some oil in a small saucepan and cook the onions, until soft.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the curry powder, paprika, cloves and cinnamon and cook out for 20-30 seconds.
- Add all the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 15 minutes – stirring occasionally.
- Blend to make a smooth sauce – allow to cool if needed.
- You can use this straight away but it is better left in the fridge overnight, to allow the flavours to really come out.
- For the sausages, if they aren’t pre-cooked, poach them first in simmering water, then grill / pan fry them – you want to create a thick, crispy outer crust.
- Serve the cooked wursts sliced vertically into chunks, and drizzle with the sauce, then sprinkle some curry powder on top.
- Serve alongside fries and if desired a bread roll – Brötchen.
