Instructions
1
Begin by boiling sausages in a pot of cold water. Once cooked through, allow the sausages to cool slightly, then remove the skins and slice them diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
2
In a large pan over medium heat, add oil and sauté the sliced onion until translucent and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
3
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pan, cooking until they are warmed through and the onion is tender, approximately 5 minutes.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the Dutch curry and rice soup packet with water, stirring until fully incorporated.
5
Pour the soup mixture over the sautéed vegetables and onion in the pan, stirring well to combine.
6
Return the sliced sausages to the pan, ensuring they are fully submerged in the sauce.
7
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 10–15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sausages to absorb the curry aroma.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, add more curry powder if desired, and if the sauce thickens too much, incorporate a bit more water to reach the preferred consistency.
9
Serve the curried sausages and vegetables over a bed of warm rice, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
