Why Curry Sausages in a Slow Cooker?

Curry sausages are a savory treat that pairs the zesty flavors of curry with the homey comfort of sausages, all melded together in the convenient magic of a slow cooker. This irresistible dish is not only easy to prepare, but it’s also incredibly versatile and nutritious, ticking all the boxes for a perfect family meal. Let’s dive into how you can create this deliciousness in your very own kitchen!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of your favorite sausages
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, sliced (color of your choice)
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp paprika (sweet or smoked, as per preference)
• 400g (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 cup beef or chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chili flakes for some extra heat
• Optional: 1 tsp sugar to balance the acidity

Preparation Before the Slow Cooker:

Before you add everything to the slow cooker, it’s crucial to do a bit of prep work that will enhance the flavors of your curry sausages. Begin by browning the sausages in a pan — this brings out a richer taste and can prevent them from becoming too soft during the slow cooking process.

Let’s Get Cooking:

1. Start by heating a pan over medium-high heat. Slightly oil the pan and brown the sausages on all sides. You’re not cooking them through, just getting some color on them!
2. Once the sausages are browned, transfer them into the slow cooker.
3. In the same pan, add a bit more oil and sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until they are softened and fragrant. Sprinkle in the curry powder and paprika, cooking it with the veggies for about a minute.
4. Add the sautéed veggies over the sausages in the slow cooker.
5. Next, add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and stock to the slow cooker. Add salt, pepper, and chili flakes if you’re using them. If the tomatoes are a bit tart, feel free to stir in a teaspoon of sugar which helps balance the flavors.
6. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
7. After cooking, give the curry a good stir and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

While your curry sausages are simmering away, you can think about the perfect accompaniments. Rice, mashed potatoes, or a warm loaf of bread all work wonders with this dish. You can also garnish with some fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to add a pop of color and fresh flavor right before serving.
