“They not fancy, but they cheap!”
I’ve updated this recipe as I do things a little differently now. I often bake my sausages in the oven while I make the vegetable curry sauce.
I can just hear Luigi saying this. Sausages certainly aren’t fancy and sometimes they’re not that cheap, but we all love a good sausage casserole in this family.
My Aussie-style curries all have pretty much the same base ingredients. We like them sweet/savoury and warm to hot. I like to use good butcher’s sausages when I can get them. I can’t abide those supermarket excuses for sausages that are little more than cereal and seasonings in a sausage casing.
This is a Thermomix recipe but can easily be converted to a casserole on the stove. I’ve put it into two stages as one is steamed, the other cooked in the bowl. Recipe developed for the TM31.
- 500 - 700g good quality beef sausages
- 1 onion, quartered
- 25g olive oil
- 1 Tbsp curry powder (I use Clive of India)
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 green apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 300g chicken stock or 300g water and 2 Tbsp Veggie or Chicken Stock Paste
- 3 Tbsp fruit chutney
- 20g tomato paste
- 20g tomato sauce (ketchup)
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 green apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 60g frozen peas
- 60g frozen corn
- 100g frozen beans
- 2 Tbsp corn starch
- Add onion and oil to Thermomix bowl. Chop 2 sec/sp 5.
- Scrape down.
- Add curry powder and sauté 4 min/100/R/sp soft.
- Add stock, chutney, paste, sauce, carrot and apple.
- Cook 15 min/100/R/sp soft.
- Add frozen vegetables and corn starch mixed with a little water and cook a further 5 min/100/R/sp soft.
- Place into ThermoServer to keep warm.
- Don't clean bowl (yay!)
- Place sausages in Varoma bowl and tray, making sure there is space between each.
- Add 1000g water to Thermomix bowl and place Varoma on top.
- Steam 17 min/Varoma/sp 2.
- If desired, you could cook rice or diced potatoes in steaming basket at the same time.
- Carefully remove, rest Varoma on it's lid to prevent drips. Allow to cool before cutting up and adding to vegetable sauce mix.
~ Change it up by using a 270g can coconut milk and make up the rest of the liquid with water. Use a Malay style curry powder and sprinkle with salted peanuts and shredded coconut.
Woah! That must be one of your sweet curries. I mean, rind AND juice of 1 lemon, 1 large apple, fruit chutney, a diced banana and apricot jam. With just 2 tsp of curry. Holy sweet curry Batman! It's a wonder you didn't throw in the banana skin and apple core too.
Yep! It's sweet, salty and spicy, just the way we like it!
