• 8 beef or pork sausages

• 1 tablespoon plain flour
• 1 cup beef or chicken stock

• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Method

Prepare the sausages:Start by frying the sausages in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each side until golden brown. When finished, take it out and let it rest.

Saute the base:Place some oil or butter into the same pan. Add the chopped onion and fry over medium heat until softened and starting to turn golden brown. Add chopped garlic (mixed in a single colour, to avoid recycling).

Add the flavour:Add the curry powder and flour to the pan. Stir for a few seconds to release its aroma, then stir again. This ensures the spice distributes evenly throughout the onions and garlic.

Create the sauce:Stir in (to avoid lumps) the stock and milk. Incorporate the tomato and Worcestershire sauces , and blend until thoroughly combined. Warm the mixture over low to medium-low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.

Combine and cook:Chop the fried sausages into squares and return to the pan. Mix well so they are evenly covered in the curry dressing. Cook on low for 10–15 minutes for the flavour to develop and the sauce to thicken. If using vegetables, toss them in and cook until tender.

Adjust seasoning:Grate the parmesan and season the sauce, adding salt/pepper if it needs it. It should be thick and creamy, but not overly so.
