These Healthier Curried Sausages are a comforting, budget-friendly meal made with lean beef sausages, cauliflower, carrots, and peas in a mild curry sauce. A quick and easy midweek dinner that’s kid-friendly and even better the next day!
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
2 tbsp curry powder
2½ cups chicken stock
2 tbsp apricot jam
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp tapioca flour or cornflour
1 cup frozen peas
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.
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.
