Resumo para quem tem pressa

"Currywurst is Berlin's most famous street food, combining sliced golden sausages covered in a thick homemade sauce of peeled tomatoes, spices, and spicy curry. It is worth making for the speed of preparation and the sweet and sour and spiced mixture that transforms the common sausage."

Chef Tips

- Cut the sausages into thick diagonal slices only when ready to cover with the hot sauce to maintain internal heat. - Sprinkle extra curry powder over the sauce assembled on the plate to reinforce the aroma and provide the traditional German look. - Use good-quality whole peeled tomatoes, blended or finely chopped, to give the sauce a velvety texture.

Variations

- Spicy Currywurst: add half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder or tabasco sauce to the tomato sauce. - Sauce with a fruity touch: add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce to the tomato sauce for German sweetness. - Version with artisanal sausage: replace the sausages with fresh, cooked, and sliced calabresa sausage on the grill.

Substitutions

- Common sausages: use authentic German sausages like bockwurst, pork bratwurst, or Frankfurt sausage. - Curry paste: use 1 full tablespoon of common Indian curry powder mixed with half a tablespoon of sweet paprika. - Regular sugar: substitute with brown sugar or cane molasses to intensify caramelized notes.

How to Store

Keep the sausages and sauce in a glass container with a lid in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the sauce with the sausages in the pan over low heat with a spoonful of water.

Can You Freeze It?

Prepared curry sauce can be frozen for up to 90 days in an airtight container. We do not recommend freezing the sliced sausages in the sauce, as the texture of the sausage may become spongy upon thawing.

What to Serve With

Serve traditionally in deep plates accompanied by crispy french fries with mayonnaise or fresh french rolls to dip in the sauce. Cold German lager or pilsner beer is the perfect pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did currywurst originate in Germany?

It was created in Berlin in 1949 by Herta Heuwer, who obtained curry powder and ketchup from British soldiers and mixed it with grilled sausages.

Which type of sausage is the most suitable?

German white or smoked sausages with natural casing ensure the best texture, but hot-dog style sausages can also be used.

Should the sauce be sweet or spicy?

The authentic sauce is balanced: has the acidity of tomato, the mild sweetness of sugar, and the aromatic heat of Indian curry.

Can I use ready-made ketchup instead of peeled tomatoes?

Some versions use ketchup heated with curry, but reduced canned tomatoes offer a much richer and tastier sauce.
