Currywurst (German Street Food) – Easy Date Night Recipe
This currywurst recipe recreates Germany’s iconic street food with juicy sausage and spiced curry ketchup—perfect for an easy international date night.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the curry sauce. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the onion and garlic are softened, add the curry powder and paprika to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let the spices toast for about a minute, releasing their flavors.
- Next, pour in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar, stirring until all ingredients are well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the curry sauce is simmering, cook the bratwurst sausages. You can grill them, pan-fry them, or cook them according to your preference until they are fully cooked and have a nice golden-brown color.
- Once the sausages are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- To serve, place the sliced bratwurst onto a plate or a serving dish, and generously spoon the warm curry sauce over the top. If desired, sprinkle a little extra curry powder on top for garnish.
- Serve the Currywurst immediately while it's still hot, along with some crusty bread or French fries on the side for dipping into the delicious curry sauce.
