Ingredients and Preparation
Before you start cooking your curried sausages in a slow cooker, gather all the necessary ingredients. For this recipe, you will need:
- 500g sausages (beef, pork, or a combination)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 capsicum (bell pepper), diced

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to prepare the sausages. Place the sausages in a frying pan over medium heat and cook until they are browned on all sides. Once cooked, remove the sausages from the pan and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In the same frying pan, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced capsicum. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the slow cooker.
In the slow cooker, add the peas, curry powder, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, beef or vegetable stock, and the cut-up sausages. Stir everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer and slower the cooking process, the more tender and flavorful the sausages will be.
Once the cooking time is up, give the curried sausages a good stir before serving. Serve the sausages and sauce over freshly cooked rice or with mashed potatoes for a hearty and comforting meal.
