Currywurst mit Pommes

German flavors, weeknight effort. Bratwurst sausages meets frozen french fries in a 40-minute lunch worth keeping in rotation.

Ingredients

• 8 Bratwurst sausages
• 2 lb Frozen french fries
• 1 cup Tomato ketchup
• 3 tbsp Mild curry powder
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 3 cups Vegetable oil

Steps

1. Simmer the ketchup, curry powder, Worcestershire, honey, and a pinch of cayenne in a saucepan for 5 minutes, stirring until it darkens and smells toasty. This sauce should taste like a Berlin street corner at 2 a.m.
2. Fry the potatoes in 350°F oil until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Drain on a rack, salt aggressively, and keep warm. Double-frying is ideal but optional on a weeknight.
3. Grill or pan-fry the bratwurst until the skins blister and split. Slice them on the bias into bite-size coins — currywurst is eaten with a tiny wooden fork, never a knife and fork.
4. Plate the fries, arrange the sausage coins over them, and ladle the hot curry ketchup over everything.
5. Dust with an extra pinch of curry powder over the top. Serve in a paper tray if you want the full U-Bahn experience.
