Equipment
- Large skillet
- Small saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Chef's knife
Ingredients
Curry Sauce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp curry powder plus more to serve
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
Sausage and Fries
- 1 1/2 lb bratwurst or pork sausage
- 1 1/2 lb frozen french fries cooked according to package directions
Instructions
Make the Sauce:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft.
- Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, curry powder, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and salt. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until glossy and thick.
Cook the Sausage:
- While the sauce simmers, brown the sausages in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and deeply golden.
- Rest the sausages for 3 minutes, then slice them into bite-sized coins.
Serve:
- Spoon the curry sauce over the sliced sausage and dust generously with curry powder.
- Serve immediately with hot crisp fries.
Notes
- Use a mild curry powder for a classic sweet-savory profile, or add cayenne for more heat.
- Currywurst is best assembled just before serving so the sausage and fries stay crisp.
