We’re hoping October will go out with a bang with our last German recipe of the month. Currywurst is a popular ‘fast food’ in Germany, particularly Berlin (approximately 800 million servings are sold in Germany each year!). This is an easy recipe that uses ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen… In other words, ‘have your wurst (currywurst, that is) and eat it, too’ in the comforts of your own home tonight!

Currywurst

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons finely minced onion
  • 3 Tablespoons good quality curry powder plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 2 cups good quality ketchup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lb Bratwurst or Kielbasa
  1. Sauté the onion in the oil until it is transparent (DO NOT BROWN). Add curry powder and paprika to onions and quickly sauté just to bring out the flavor, then add the ketchup and water. Simmer uncovered until the sauce is the thickness you desire. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  2. Meanwhile, broil or grill bratwurst or kielbasa for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Slice into pieces 1/4” to 1/2” thick.
  3. Pour sauce over sausage and dust with an extra sprinkling of curry powder.
  4. Serve with French fries or a hard roll.
