500g (1 lb) lean beef sausages
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 onion, halved and sliced
-
3–4 cups (360g / 13 oz) cauliflower, cut into small florets

2 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally

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.
