Berliner Currywurst

Cultural Context

Originating in Berlin, Currywurst is a beloved street food that combines grilled sausage with a spiced curry ketchup. It's often enjoyed with a side of fries or bread, making it a popular snack or meal on the go. The dish reflects Germany's post-war culinary creativity, as it was developed in the 1940s by Herta Heuwer, who introduced the curry sauce to local sausage. Today, Currywurst is a staple in German cuisine, celebrated at festivals and food stalls across the country.

1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

2

Add 1/2 onion, finely chopped, and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until softened and starting to brown.

3

Add 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced), 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce to the pan.

4

Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

While the sauce simmers, prepare the sausages by making small cuts on both sides to prevent them from exploding during cooking.

6

In a deep pot, heat about 1/8 inch of oil over medium-high heat.

7

Add the sausages to the pot and cook until nicely browned, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.

8

Once browned, remove sausages from the pot and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

9

Toss the sausage pieces in the sauce until well coated.

10

Serve in a bowl or tray, garnished with extra sauce.
