Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 500 grams (1 pound) lean beef sausages
- 1 cup frozen peas
Vegetables:
- 3.4 cups (360 grams / 13 ounces) cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
- 1 onion, halved and sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Seasonings and Thickeners:
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2.5 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour or cornflour
Instructions
- Select high-quality sausages and slice them diagonally into bite-sized segments for easier eating and quicker cooking.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat with a touch of cooking oil. Sear sausages until golden brown on all surfaces, creating a rich caramelized exterior. Transfer sausages to a separate plate.
- In the identical skillet, utilize residual fat or add fresh oil. Introduce minced garlic and diced onions, sautéing for approximately 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Incorporate chopped carrots and cauliflower into the skillet, stirring continuously for 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and slight softening of vegetables.
- Sprinkle curry powder directly into the vegetable mixture, toasting for 30 seconds to intensify aromatic flavors and release essential oils.
- Return seared sausages to the skillet, combining with vegetables. Pour in chicken stock and apricot jam, creating a vibrant, glossy sauce.
- Reduce heat and allow mixture to simmer gently for 15 minutes, enabling flavors to meld and sauce to reduce slightly.
- Prepare a slurry by whisking tapioca flour with water until completely smooth and lump-free.
- Fold frozen peas into the simmering curry. Gradually pour flour mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
- Season with salt and pepper, continuing to cook for an additional 2 minutes until sauce reaches a luxurious, gravy-like consistency.
- Plate over steamed rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or tender noodles. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Select low-fat, high-quality sausages to reduce overall calorie and fat content while maintaining delicious flavor.
- Swap traditional sausages with plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian version that keeps the curry’s rich taste profile.
- Use homemade or low-sugar apricot jam to control sweetness and reduce added sugars in the dish.
- Add extra vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for increased nutritional value and vibrant color.
