This week, with the weather getting quite cold and frosty, Roy decided it was time to show you how to create a few favourite, old fashioned winter warmers. Winter has always traditionally been a time of thick soups and stews, hot pasta bakes and roasts, yet so many of his friends don't realise that to make these meals, you don't need a packet of flavouring, a bottle of sauce or a special type of bag to cook it in. This week, Roy thought he would begin with one of the all time favourites, so this week, Roy Creates Curried Sausages.
You Will Need:
- 1 kilogram of fat sausages.
- 1 large brown onion
- 4 teaspoons of curry powder. (This is 1 tablespoon of curry powder, but a tablespoon didn't fit into the tin, so we used 4 teaspoons instead. This can be adjusted to taste)
- 1 420 gram tin of crushed tomatoes
- Water
- 1 Green Apple
- 1/2 a cup of sultanas
Method:
- In a big pot of water, boil the sausages until they are cooked. Drain the water off and set them aside to cool slightly. This step takes a lot of the fat out of the sausages, cooks them and also makes sure they are nice and soft in the stew.
- When they are cool enough to easily handle, cut the sausages into thick rounds and set them aside.
- Roughly chop the onion.
- Peel and chop up the apple. You want reasonably small pieces. Make sure to throw the core and seeds away.
- In a little olive oil, fry the onion and garlic until the are just transparent.
- Add the curry powder to the pan and fry until it smells like curry. Don't fry it too long though or it will burn.
- Add the tin of tomatoes.
- Take the tin from the tomatoes and fill it about 1/2 full of cold water and add this too. You want a good sauce consistency.
- Add the sausages into the sausce and then add the apple and sultanas (if you really like fruit you can add more apple and sultanas too - whatever you like)
- Cook until the flavours have mixed and everything is hot.
- Serve with rice.
