Ingredients

Scale
  1. 500g (1 lb) lean beef sausages

  2. 2 garlic cloves, minced

  3. 1 onion, halved and sliced

  4. 34 cups (360g / 13 oz) cauliflower, cut into small florets

  5. 2 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally

  6. 2 tbsp curry powder

  7. 2½ cups chicken stock

  8. 2 tbsp apricot jam

  9. ½ tsp salt

  10. 2 tbsp tapioca flour or cornflour

  11. 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  • Brown the Sausages:
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages, turning them to brown on all sides. Remove and set aside. Optional: Slice sausages diagonally into bite-sized pieces.

  • Sauté the Vegetables:
    In the same skillet, keep 1 tbsp of fat (or use oil if needed). Add garlic and onion, cooking for 2 minutes until translucent. Stir in carrots and cauliflower, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  • Build the Curry Sauce:
    Stir in curry powder and cook for 30 seconds to release flavor. Return sausages to the pan. Add apricot jam and chicken stock, then simmer for 15 minutes.

  • Thicken the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix tapioca flour (or cornflour) with 1 tbsp water until dissolved. Stir in peas and pour the flour mixture into the curry. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes, until the sauce thickens into a gravy-like consistency.

 

  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Notes

  • This dish is even better the next day, so it makes for great leftovers.

  • You can swap the lean beef sausages for chicken or turkey sausages if you prefer.

 

  • If you want to make the sauce spicier, add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
