Ingredients

- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder (mild or hot, to taste)

Directions
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 35 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes
1. Brown the Sausages
In a large, heavy-based skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning until browned all over. Remove sausages from the pan and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
In the same pan, add sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Vegetables & Spices
Add carrots and potatoes, then sprinkle over the curry powder and flour. Stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are coated and the mixture is fragrant.
4. Build the Sauce
Pour in the stock slowly, stirring to avoid lumps. Add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Simmer
Add the sliced sausages back to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Finish and Serve
Add frozen peas and cook for a final 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot over fluffy rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or buttered bread.
Notes
- For extra depth, use a mix of sweet and hot curry powder.
- If the sauce thickens too much, splash in some extra stock or water.
- Pre-cooked sausages work, just reduce browning time to 2 minutes.
Variations
- Vegetarian: Substitute sausages with your favorite plant-based links and use vegetable stock.
- Spicy: Add diced fresh chili or hot curry powder for extra heat.
- Creamy: Swirl in ½ cup coconut milk during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
