🍛 Slow Cooker Curried Sausages

Servings: 4–6

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 6–8 hours (low) or 3–4 hours (high)

Ingredients:

• 8–10 thick sausages (beef, pork, or chicken — your choice)

• 1 onion, sliced

• 2 carrots, sliced

• 1–2 potatoes, diced (optional)

• 1 cup frozen peas

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp curry powder (use mild or hot based on preference)

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 2 cups beef or chicken stock

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp sugar (optional — balances flavor)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp oil (for browning sausages)

Instructions:

1. Brown the sausages (optional, but recommended):

   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown sausages for a few minutes until golden all over (they don’t need to be cooked through).

   • Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into large chunks or leave whole.

2. Add ingredients to slow cooker:

   • Place onions, carrots, potatoes (if using), and garlic in the base.

   • Add the sausages on top.

3. Mix the curry gravy:

   • In a bowl, whisk together curry powder, tomato paste, flour, stock, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

   • Pour over the sausages and veggies.

4. Cook:

   • Low: 6–8 hours

   • High: 3–4 hours

   • Add peas in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

5. Optional – Thicken the sauce:

   • If you prefer a thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) and cook for another 10–15 minutes on high.

6. Serve:

   • Over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with parsley if you like.

🔄 Variations & Tips:

• Add apples: A chopped green apple adds subtle sweetness and works well with curry.

• Make it creamy: Stir in 1/4 cup cream or coconut milk at the end for a creamy version.

• No slow cooker? Simmer everything gently on the stove for 45–60 minutes.
