Ich liebe Currywurst.

Du, Du hast, Du hast Currywurst?
I don't. I frikin love, love, love currywurst.
I love it soo much that I am the proud owner of a ceramic Currywurst dish.

Oh yes, this plate is specificaly designed for Currywurst. That's dedication.

So, what is Currywurst then?
Well, it's juicy Bratwurst or Knockwurst sausages grilled to crispy perfection then smothered in a sweet, spicy curry flavoured ketchup.
Usually served with pommes frites and a wee dollop of mayonaise.

I'm sure the big strapping lads in Rammstein have had their fair share of this dish.
I tried to eat my Currywurst while listeneing to this song but I was rocking out so much I got sauce all over my face.
Not a good look.



I've used a really quick and simple recipe for the Currywurst sauce so you can make this dish in about half an hour.

Currywurst mit Pommes Frites

serves 2

Ingredients

5 bratwurst or knockwurst sausages. You can also use vegetarian hot dogs for this recipe too.

For the sauce
200ml water
1 mild Spanish onion, chopped very fine
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
3 tablespoons curry powder
500ml tomato ketchup
Small glug sunflower oil

French fries
Mayonnaise

I cook my sausages in the oven so they are extra crispy on the outside so preheat your oven to 200 degrees or equivalent.

Lightly grease an oven tray and pop your sausages on and place in the oven and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes turning every now and then to brown and crispify all over.

While the sausages are cooking make the sauce and cook your french fries.
To make the sauce put a small glug of olive oil into a pan and heat on medium.

Add half of the chopped onion and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes stirring every now and then till softened and translucent.

Add the curry powder and paprika and cook for about one minute till fragrant.

Add the ketchup and water, stir well then simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes until thick.

When sausages are ready, chop into pieces and put into the sauce. Stir and cook for a few minutes till sauce takes the flavour of the sausages.

To serve put your sausages on a plate (or specially designed Currywurst plate) and sprinkle with the rest of the raw chopped onion and extra curry powder.

Serve with your fries and a dollop of mayonnaise.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
