Slow Cooker Curried Sausages

Lovey easy dinner idea, this classic recipe for Slow Cooker Curried Sausages is a hearty family meal. 

This is a very retro recipe that has been made in homes for generations. The version you are looking at here is a nod to the British variation of the original German Currywurst which was a dish sold in Berlin in a roadside kiosk which was sausages and a lovely sauce overlaid. 

The version we have enjoyed since the 1970’s here in NZ & Australia is a sweeter milder version with curry powder, carrots and any sort of sausages you like. I have a stove top version on my sister website Just A Mum’s Kitchen as well as this version for a slow cooker.

The beauty of using a slow cooker is you can set it and forget it earlier in the day and enjoy a lovely warm hearty dinner without too much fuss in the evening.

You can serve this with mashed potatoes, rice or some just enjoy a bowl with some lovely fresh bread to soak up the flavourful sauce. However you enjoy it I hope you love this version. 

The ingredients are lovely and simple

(Scroll down further to the full printable recipe card and method below)

• Sausages

• Onion

• Garlic

• Carrots

• Peas

• Curry Powder

• Tomato Paste (or sauce)

• Beef or Chicken Stock

• Salt & Pepper

• Cornflour or starch 

As with all my slow cooker recipes I have made sure it is so easy to prepare. You can of course brown the sausages first but I never do, with the lovely slow method of cooking there is no need. 

I will share the method for cooking on LOW, HIGH and also pressure cooking, so if you like to use your instant pot of multi cooker then you can have all the benefits of slow cooking with much less time. 

I add the sausages to the slow cooker, top with carrots and onion, then pour over the combined mixture of the curry powder, tomato paste, garlic and chicken or beef stock. Many recipes use just water but I think it does add a depth of flavour to use stock. You can use premade stock or the cubes or whatever you have on hand. 

Then simply pop on the lid and cook until soft and tender with the timings listed below. Then I like to thicken the sauce at the finish and then add the peas as the final touch. 

I hope you give this one a try!

Notes

What size is your slow cooker?

My slow cooker is 6 litres.

What is Curry Powder?

Curry Powder is a premade spice consisting of  ginger, garlic, fennel, mace, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon and turmeric. It can be found worldwide if not in stores then online. It originally was sold in British markets.

Can I use my Pressure Cooker, Instant Pot or Multi Cooker to make curried sausages?

Yes! This is lovely done in the pressure cooker. Combine all the ingredients as above. Set to pressure cook or meat setting for 45 minutes. Allow time for it to come to pressure, and allow it to naturally release for 15 minutes. Leave it on 'keep warm' while you remove the sausages, slice, then add the cornflour slurry, peas and sausages and pop the lid back on for 10 minutes to heat through the peas.

What sort of sausages can I use?

Any you like! This is lovely done with pork, lamb, beef, venison or even chicken sausages. You can use sausages with herbs or plain.
