German Currywurst

Cultural Context

Currywurst originated in Berlin in the 1940s, created by a woman who served it to American soldiers. The dish quickly became a beloved street food, symbolizing post-war German culture and culinary creativity. Today, it's enjoyed across Germany, often served with fries and a side of curry sauce, and has inspired variations worldwide, including vegetarian options and gourmet interpretations.

While sausages are frying, strain the sauce through a sieve to remove solids.

10

Add 1 can of tomato paste to thicken the sauce, and if needed, add a second can.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce.

12

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary.
