#PlateUpTogether
While home cooking has become the new normal for most of us, we know it can be hard to come up with new ideas.
PlateitForward uses the best ingredients and products and we are proud of what we provide to our community. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing some of the restaurant-quality recipes we have created for our meal donation program with you!
Ingredients
- 2 x Brown onions (sliced)
- 1 x tbsp Garlic paste
- 1 x tsp Ginger paste
- 1 x tsp Lemongrass (sliced)
- 1 x Long green chilli (sliced)
- 2 x Roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1 x tbsp Tomato paste
- 500g x LP’s smoked pig head sausages
- 2 x tbsp Lings curry powder
- 500ml x Chicken stock
- 750ml x Coconut milk
- 1 x tbsp chopped Coriander
- Lemon juice to taste
Note: if you can’t access LP’s smoked pig head sausages you can use Pork sausage from your local butcher or supermarket.
Vegetarian? No problem change the chicken stock for vegetable and replace the Pork Sausage with roast or steamed veg.
Method
- Cook the sausages in a deep frying pan with little oil, deep enough to make the curry in as well, Allow the sausage to cool then cut into chunky pieces.
- Using the same pan on low flame, gently sauté the onions until golden brown.
- Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass and green chilli and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the fresh tomato and tomato paste and curry powder and continue to sauté on low flame for 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and coconut milk. Let this reduce until it produces a nice thick curry sauce.
- Once you’ve reached your required consistency add the sausage, coriander plus a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper and a touch of sugar to your required taste.
