Warm, comforting, and packed with bold flavors, New Zealand Curried Sausages is a hearty dish that transforms simple ingredients into an irresistible family favorite. Juicy sausages are simmered in a rich and creamy curry-infused sauce, paired with tender carrots, sweet peas, and a touch of garlic for depth. The sauce, thickened with a blend of curry powder and flour, gets its silkiness from milk and chicken stock, creating the perfect balance of spice and creaminess.

Ingredients

• 8 whole sausages
• 1 large onion
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup milk
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, boil water and cook the sausages for 5 minutes to par-cook them. Drain and set aside to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the curry powder and flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and form a paste.

Step 5

Gradually add the chicken stock to the skillet while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the milk and continue to stir, creating a smooth sauce base.

Step 6

Add the sliced sausages and carrot rounds to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the sausages and vegetables simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir well.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 10

Serve the curried sausages hot with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or fresh bread. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
