First of
all, I must apologise for the pic – it isn't mine – but looks very
similar. I did take pictures but the
memory card got wiped by accident and so I lost them. Luckily all the other pics on the card had
been uploaded already – so it wasn't a total disaster. It has decided me to take back up pics on my
phone as well from now on.
So back to
the Curried Sausages with Sultanas &
Cherries. This version ended up
pretty spicy so you might want to be a little lighter handed with the curry
powder than I was.
Ingredients:
3 cooked
pork sausages, cut into rounds
1 potato,
cut into similar sized pieces and pre-cooked for a couple of minutes
Ham stock
plus a chicken stock cube – about 2 cups worth
½ glass of
white wine – optional (I had some sauvignon to get rid of)
Dried sour
cherries – 5-7 (if you put too many in the curry will get sour)
Sultanas –
10-12
Curry
powder – a tablespoon or so
Baby leek –
sliced (you could use onion instead)
Mustard
powder – a teaspoon
Turmeric
and ground ginger – a sprinkling of each
Salt &
pepper
Cornflour –
about a heaped teaspoon
Parsley -
chopped
Method:
Put
everything but the cornflour and the parsley into a pot and bring to a
simmer. Add your cornflour after
diluting it in a little cold water.
Simmer
until the flavours have melded and the potato is cooked. Add the chopped parsley just before serving.
I love a good curry. Have never tried it with pork sausages, though. Must give it a try.
ReplyDeleteNow this sounds intriguing. Think I have some pork sausages to use up.
ReplyDeleteI've never cooked with (or probably never eaten) dried sour cherries! My mother used to make curried sausages when we were kids, but I haven't had it in years- hers had boiled eggs in it which I always liked.
ReplyDeleteYes, interesting. I would not have thought to do a curry with pork sausages. Did you like the way it turned out, aside from the heat?
ReplyDeleteClaudia, curried sausages are a common dish here - some people add sliced apples - I prefer a simpler approach. Give it a go - you can use any curry powder you enjoy. Cheers
DeleteSometimes you an find curried Whole Foods here in north Florida. That sounds a little too spicy for me but I can always adapt, tone it down. Nice meal!
ReplyDeleteI too love curry!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of sultana until a book I just finished reading last week. Funny! Just googled and a grape, huh! Yum.
