Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
800 g thin beef sausages
1 large brown onion, thinly sliced
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp curry powder
2 tbsp fruit chutney
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
Steamed white rice, to serve
Parsley leaves, to serve
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the sausages in batches for 5–6 minutes, turning often, until browned all over. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the sliced onion, carrot, and garlic to the same pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring until the onion softens.
- Sprinkle in the curry powder and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the fruit chutney and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the sausages to the pan, cover, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 1–2 minutes until heated through. Season to taste.
- Serve over steamed white rice and garnish with parsley leaves.
Notes
Swap beef sausages for chicken for a lighter flavour.
Add coconut milk at the end for a creamy version.
Include extra vegetables like capsicum, zucchini, or green beans.
Use mango chutney for a fruitier taste.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
