Currywurst and Fries with Curry Ketchup
Ingredients
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoon curry powder
1 pinch Chinese 5-spice powder
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
4 bratwurst sausages, scored horizontally
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Frozen french fries of your choice, cooked according to package instructions (or homemade from the recipe here)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, broth, onion powder, garlic powder, curry powder, and 5-spice powder in a small saucepan, and whisk to combine.
- Simmer the ketchup over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, whisking frequently, until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, place the brats on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
- Divide the brats and fries between plates, spooning some of the curry ketchup over the sausages (about 1-2 tablespoons each). Place the remaining curry ketchup in little bowls for additional dipping.
- Before serving, garnish the sauced brats with chopped parsley, then skewer each scored section with toothpicks for easier eating.
