Ingredients

For the Curried Sausages

• 8 pork or beef sausages
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons mild curry powder
• 2 cups beef or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup frozen peas
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

For the Mashed Potatoes

• 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water.
2. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Drain well and return the potatoes to the warm pot.
4. Add the butter and warm milk, then mash until smooth and creamy.
5. Season with salt and black pepper. Keep warm while preparing the sausages.

Make the Curried Sausages

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the sausages and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add the sliced onion to the same skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
4. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
5. Sprinkle the flour and curry powder over the onions. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute.
6. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
7. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce.
8. Return the sausages to the skillet and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
9. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, turning the sausages occasionally, until cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
10. Stir in the frozen peas during the final 3–4 minutes of cooking.
11. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper.

To Serve

Spoon a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes onto each plate. Top with the curried sausages and plenty of the rich onion curry gravy. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips

• Use mild curry powder for a family-friendly flavor, or add a pinch of chili powder for extra heat.
• Brown the sausages well before simmering for deeper flavor.
• If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or water.
• For extra-creamy mashed potatoes, use warm milk and room-temperature butter.
• You can substitute peas with chopped carrots for a slightly different version.
