Warm, comforting, and packed with bold flavors, New Zealand Curried Sausages is a hearty dish that transforms simple ingredients into an irresistible family favorite. Juicy sausages are simmered in a rich and creamy curry-infused sauce, paired with tender carrots, sweet peas, and a touch of garlic for depth. The sauce, thickened with a blend of curry powder and flour, gets its silkiness from milk and chicken stock, creating the perfect balance of spice and creaminess.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole sausages
- 1 large onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup milk
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, boil water and cook the sausages for 5 minutes to par-cook them. Drain and set aside to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder and flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and form a paste.
Gradually add the chicken stock to the skillet while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the milk and continue to stir, creating a smooth sauce base.
Add the sliced sausages and carrot rounds to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the sausages and vegetables simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir well.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the curried sausages hot with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or fresh bread. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
