Keens Curried Sausages is a hearty and flavorful Australian classic that combines tender beef sausages simmered in a rich, spiced curry sauce. This comforting dish features a blend of onions, garlic, carrots, and green peas cooked in a beef stock base with Keens curry powder and tangy HP sauce, thickened with flour to create a luscious gravy. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal, it pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Meat

  • 600 grams beef sausages (whole)

Vegetables

  • 2 small onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, diced or cut into thin slices
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Liquids and Sauces

  • 2 cups liquid beef stock (or chicken or vegetable stock)
  • 2-3 tablespoons HP sauce (or swap for Worcestershire sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (canola or vegetable oil, or your preferred neutral-tasting oil)

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon Keens curry powder (or any curry powder mixture of choice, adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Thickening Agent

  • 2-3 tablespoons plain flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Begin by slicing the onions, finely chopping the garlic, and dicing or thinly slicing the carrots. Set the frozen peas aside to thaw slightly while you prepare the other components.
  2. Brown the sausages: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the whole beef sausages and cook them until browned all over, which helps to develop flavor and seal in the juices. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced onions, chopped garlic, and diced carrots. Cook gently over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the carrots start to soften, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Add curry powder and flour: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Keens curry powder over the softened vegetables and stir well to coat. Then, add 2-3 tablespoons of plain flour and mix thoroughly, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste and to create a roux base for the sauce.
  5. Deglaze and simmer: Gradually pour in 2 cups of beef stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps forming. Add 2-3 tablespoons of HP sauce (or Worcestershire sauce) and stir well. Return the browned sausages to the pan, ensuring they are covered in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cook sausages through: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the sausages simmer gently in the curry sauce for about 25-30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the sausages to cook fully through.
  7. Add peas and finish: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas and cook until heated through. If the sauce is too thick, add a little extra stock or water to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the curried sausages hot, accompanied by steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Notes

  • HP sauce can be substituted with Worcestershire sauce if unavailable. Both add a tangy depth to the curry sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your preferred level of spice.
  • Use a neutral oil such as canola or vegetable oil for frying to avoid overpowering the curry flavors.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, dilute with a little extra stock or water to maintain a good consistency.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace plain flour with a gluten-free thickening agent such as cornstarch or rice flour.
