- ½ tbsp oil
- 600g (1.2lb) sausages , of choice (see note 1)
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 onion , halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder , see note 2
- 3 carrots , peeled and sliced on diagonal
- 1 apple , finely grated or chopped (see note 3)
- 2 cups (500ml) chicken stock/broth
- 1½ tbsp cornflour/cornstarch
- 1 cup frozen peas
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown sausages all over. Remove and place in the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook on medium low heat for 2-3 mins, until translucent. Add the curry powder and stir for a further 30 seconds.
Add the onion mixture, carrots, apple and chicken broth to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3.5 hours.
(Optional) remove sausages and cut into chunks.
Scoop out a few tablespoons of the liquid and mix with the cornflour in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and add back into the slow cooker.
Switch the slow cooker to high, add back in the sausages and the peas and allow the sauce to thicken for 10 mins.
NOTE 1: You can use pork beef, chicken or vegetarian. Try to choose better quality ones. opt for ones with a high percentage of meat (ideally 85% or more).
NOTE 2: I used Keens Curry Powder. You can use any brand of curry powder, but the flavour profile may vary slightly depending on the ingredient list.
NOTE 3: Apple is added for sweetness to balance out the curry. If you grate the apple the sauce will be textured. For a smoother sauce dice the apple or replace it with 2 teaspoons of sugar or a tablespoon of fruit chutney.
