Curried Sausages
The ultimate retro sausage recipe - Curried Sausages! Browned sausages in a curry sausage gravy with carrots and peas, it's totally 80's, totally kitsch, and we totally love it. (PS Forgot to include the clip where I add the flour which thickens the gravy, it goes in after the curry. The written recipe in the link below is correct!)

Sausages with Peppers and Onions
RECIPE COURTESY OF VALERIE BERTINELLI
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 45 min (includes cooling time)
Active: 45 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sausages (spicy Italian, mild Italian, plant-based, etc.)
2 orange bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 white onions, halved and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions
Heat a large braiser or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausages and brown on all sides until browned but not cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and let cool until cool enough to handle, then slice them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the vegetables over low heat until they’re very soft, beginning to caramelize and have some spots of browning, about 40 minutes. If the vegetables start to look like they’re getting too browned too quickly, add a splash of water to deglaze.
Add the apple cider vinegar and the sausages to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking until the sausages are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off.
Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.

More traditional Andouille Sausage Recipe's: (IF YOU PLAN ON COLD SMOKING YOU NEED TO USE CURE #1 IN YOUR RECIPE)
This recipe is a little wilder and goes deep into the Creole heritage with African roots (my Favorite):
Makes 5# of Sausage (try to use a 30% fat ratio. Boston But works great)
5 Pounds of Boston Butt (fat cap on)
1 Cup of ice cold water
Sugar 3.4 grams
Cure #1 5.7 grams
Salt 38.6 grams
Cayenne 3.4 grams
Pepper Flakes 4 grams
Black Pepper 4 grams
Smoked Paprika 11.4 grams
Minced Garlic 34 grams
Mustard Powder 3 grams
All Spice 1 gram
Clove 2 grams
Ground Bay Leaves 2 grams
Ground Mace 2 grams (if you don't have mace then you can use 4 grams of nutmeg)
Ground Thyme 5.7 grams
Non Fat Powder Milk 45.4 grams
Instructions:
Rinse your natural hog casings (we use 32-34mm) in water (minimum 30 minutes). Change water out frequently and before you use your casings give them a thorough rinse by filling them up with water and draining them out.
Mix seasonings and water together and place in freezer to chill.
Grind your meat and fat together. If you want a more traditional andouille then grind 1/2 your meat & all your fat on the coarsest plate (I use 12mm), then use the stuffing plate (with the blade on) and run the rest of your meat through your grinder. If you don't have a stuffing plate you can course chop the rest of your meat by hand.
Mix your meat with your seasoning/water mix. Mix well till you achieve a tacky and sticky consistency. If you are mixing by hand them make sure to meat is very cold. If you are using a meat mixer or kitchen aid stand mixer this process will only take 6-8 minutes,...
Stuff your meat into your casings and link them up. Prick the sausages with your sausage pricker looking for any unwanted air pockets.
Let hang in room temp to dry for 3 hours (this helps bind the casing) then refrigerate. The next day take the andouille out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature (2 hours)
Cold smoke for 6 hours with your favorite choice of wood (in Louisiana Pecan is a popular choice. You can mix and match as we use pecan and hickory for this recipe.
After 6 hours turn your smoker on and get your temp to 140F and slow cook for 3 hours. After 3 hours slowly raise your temp to 190F and cook till the internal temp of the andouille reaches 155F.
Once your sausage reaches 155F spray it down with water to cool the andouille down. This will prevent the skin from getting wrinkled. After you have thoroughly sprayed with water place in an area to hand for about 3 hours to bloom. This will enhance their color. Once this is done you can place them in a zip lock bag and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
At this point you are ready to enjoy your sausage. If you want to freeze them then vacuum seal and place them in the freezer (good for 9 months) If you want to keep it in the fridge it will be good for about 1 week to 10 days. Try this in Gumbo, Jambalaya, Red beans and Rice, White Bean Soup, Pizza, with eggs, by itself with some mustard and crackers. Whatever you want. Please let me know if you make this recipe and how it came out!!
