Details
A Creole classic where humble sausages meet a rich, garlicky tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Sausages
Prick the sausages with a fork. In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and brown them on all sides. Once browned, remove them from the pan and set aside. You can slice them into bite-sized pieces if you prefer.
Sauté the Aromatics
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the crushed garlic, grated ginger, thyme, and curry leaves (if using). Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Build the Sauce
Pour the chopped tomatoes into the pan. Add the whole or sliced chili, if using. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Simmer
Return the browned sausages to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, give it a good stir, and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Serve
Once the sauce has thickened and the sausages are cooked through, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the fresh, chopped coriander or parsley. Serve hot with fluffy white rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
