Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add 6 pork sausages and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 large thinly sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp curry powder and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. Add 2 tbsp tomato paste and mix well for 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes and 1 cup beef broth, stirring to combine. Return sausages to the skillet, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until sausages are cooked through and sauce thickens.
