Sausage Curry

If you love comforting and high-protein one-pot meals, then this curry recipe is perfect for you! This dish begins with crisping sausages in the pot. Then a rich and creamy curry sauce is created with garlic, onions, spices, potatoes, cauliflower and green beans are simmered to perfection. Finally the sausages are added back to the pan along with cilantro and frozen peas; that's it!

Ingredients

• Sausages: I use beef, but any kind (sweet or hot Italian) works great.
• Garlic & Ginger: Fresh garlic = flavor bomb. Ginger is optional but adds zing.
• Olive Oil: Use a good-quality EVOO!
• Onion: Finely chopped onion (or shallot) adds a hint of sweetness.
• Potatoes: 1" cubes cook in 30–40 min—soft, buttery, and help thicken the curry.
• Cauliflower, Green Beans, Peas
• Cilantro, or parsley!

This isn’t a traditional “Keens Curried Sausages” dish—no curry powder here.

How to make one-pan sausage curry

Step 1: Begin with sautéing the sliced sausage in a dutch oven in some olive oil for about 10 minutes until most of the edges are crispy. Transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl and set aside for later!

Quick tip: If sausages start to stick to the bottom of the pan, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to deglaze the pan and use your mixing spoon to scrape off any bits from the bottom of the pan, then mix everything together.

Step 2: Be sure there is enough oil left in the pan or add some more. Then, sauté the onions for 5 minutes just until they start to become translucent.

Step 3: Mix in the aromatics, including fresh garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, ginger, ground coriander, turmeric, cumin & cinnamon. Cook just until the garlic is cooked through, about 2 minutes. It will become very fragrant.

Step 4: Next, add in all the veggies including the cauliflower, potatoes and green beans followed by the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth!

Step 5: Simmer all the ingredients in the pot for 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked through and the cauliflower becomes very soft.

Step 6: Finally, turn off the heat and add the cooked sausages, cilantro and frozen peas to the cooked curry and mix everything together. Cover the pot and let sit for 5 minutes before serving!

Chef tips

• Make sure potatoes are fully cooked—taste one before turning off the heat.
• Great for meal prep: make on Sunday and portion for 2–3 days.
• Start cooking basmati rice before the curry so it’s ready to serve hot.

Storing & Reheating

• Store sausage curry leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If the curry has become a bit too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of water per serving, mix together and microwave!
• I have not personally tried it out, but I would recommend freezing the curry in a freezer-safe ziplock or container for up to 3 months.

Variations and substitutions 

• Use any type sausage you love!
• Try half russet potatoes and half sweet potatoes. Swap cauliflower for broccoli!
• Use whole cumin seeds if you like!
• Swap the vegetable broth for chicken broth or mushroom broth.

Serving ideas

• Serve over basmati, jasmine, or brown rice.
• Try with mashed potatoes (russet, Yukon, or sweet).
• Pair with hearty bread like sourdough.
• Spoon over rice noodles for a fun twist.
• Stir in ¾ cup coconut milk for extra creaminess.
• Swap in vegan sausages for a plant-based version.
