Devilled Sausages
Description
Devilled Sausages feature small browned sausages cooked alongside a sauce blending softened onions and apples with garlic, thickened by flour and enriched by beef broth and canned tomatoes. The inclusion of chutney, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, coriander, and fresh thyme creates a balanced sauce with sweet, tangy, and savory notes. This dish offers a tender sausage with a slightly thick, flavorful sauce that complements the meat. It is ideal for a hearty meal and typically served with sides like mashed potatoes or bread to soak up the sauce.
The sausages are browned first, then set aside while the sauce components cook in the same pan to build flavor. The flour added after the garlic helps thicken the sauce when combined with the broth. Returning the sausages to the pan allows them to finish cooking within the sauce, letting the flavors meld.
This recipe is adaptable with any type of sausage, though smaller sausages like chipolatas hold their shape well and cook evenly. Fresh thyme is preferred to avoid overpowering the dish with dried herbs, and chutney varieties can vary to alter the sweetness and tang.
Use higher-quality sausages for better texture and flavor. Substitute broths as desired, and choose a chutney or relish that suits your palate. The sauce’s blend of sweet, sour, and savory elements makes this a distinctive dish suitable for cooler weather or anytime a filling, saucy sausage meal is wanted.

Notes
- Choose good-quality sausages to ensure flavor and firmness during cooking; chipolata sizes work well but larger sausages can be substituted by adjusting quantities.
- Beef broth adds depth, but chicken or vegetable broth are acceptable alternatives for the liquid base.
- Mango chutney is traditional but other chutney varieties or sweet relishes like Branston pickle can be used to vary the sauce flavor.
- Use fresh thyme leaves where possible; dried thyme should be added sparingly to avoid overpowering the sauce.
