Ingredients
- 4 bratwurst sausages
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
- For the curry ketchup sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp yellow curry powder (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 1 tsp smoked or sweet paprika
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar or honey
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional for serving:
- French fries or crusty rolls
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook bratwurst until browned and fully cooked, about 8–10 minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add tomato paste and ketchup, stirring to combine. Stir in curry powder, paprika, vinegar, sugar, and water.
- Simmer sauce for 10–15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return sliced bratwurst to the pan to warm through or serve sausages topped with the warm sauce.
- Sprinkle with additional curry powder just before serving. Serve with fries or crusty rolls.
Notes
- Use knockwurst or chicken sausage as a variation.
- Adjust spice level with chili flakes or hot sauce.
- Honey or orange juice can add a sweeter or citrusy twist.
- Make sauce ahead—it develops more flavor overnight.
- Add a splash of broth to thin sauce when reheating.
