Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: Australian
Ingredients: ½ tbsp oil; 600 g sausages of choice; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 onion, halved and sliced; 1 carrot, peeled, sliced on the diagonal; 1 tbsp curry powder (or more to taste); 3 tbsp plain flour; 500 ml (2 cups) low-sodium chicken stock; 1 tsp sugar; ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste; ½ tsp black pepper; 1 cup frozen peas; Mash or rice, to serve

Method

Heat oil over medium-high. Brown sausages all over, then remove. Slice on the diagonal if you like, or leave whole.
In the same pan, cook garlic and onion 2 minutes until translucent.
Stir in curry powder 30 seconds, then flour 30 seconds.
Gradually pour in stock, stirring constantly. Add carrot, sugar, salt and pepper.
Return sausages, add peas. Simmer 3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Serve over mash or rice.

Tip: Toasting the curry powder in the pan is the flavour trick. A teaspoon of sugar rounds the gravy. Retro Aussie weeknight dinner, done in 20 minutes.
