- 1 tbspButterMilch
- 1 countSmall onion(finely chopped)
- 2 clovesGarlic(minced)
- 2 tbspCurry powder
- 0.5 tspSmoked paprika
- 0.25 tspCayenne pepper(or to taste)
- 400 gCanned crushed tomatoes
- 120 mlVegetable broth
- 2 tbspApple cider vinegar
- 2 tbspBrown sugar
- 1 tspWorcestershire sauce
- 1 pinchSalt(to taste)
- 1 pinchBlack pepper(to taste)
Garnish
- 1 tbspFresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the sausages: Lightly brush the bratwurst sausages with vegetable oil. Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow diagonal cuts on each sausage. This helps them cook evenly and get extra crispy.
Start the curry sauce: While the sausages are cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add aromatics and spices: Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the spices.
Simmer the sauce: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season and blend (optional): Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. For a smoother sauce, you can carefully blend it with an immersion blender until it reaches your desired consistency. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer it to a regular blender (be cautious with hot liquids) or just enjoy it chunky.
Serve: Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the sliced sausages on plates, generously spoon the warm curry sauce over them, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with a side of fries or a crusty roll.
