The very best devilled sausages
Description
The very best devilled sausages recipe combines sausages cooked until browned with a sauce made from onions, apple slices, garlic, chopped tomatoes, and a robust mixture of spices. The sauce incorporates beef stock enriched with Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, tomato paste, chutney, and a selection of dried herbs and spices like thyme, cumin, coriander, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper, balancing sweet, savory, and mildly spicy flavors. The addition of apple adds a gentle fruity note to soften the sharpness of the spices and onions.
Cooking begins by frying the sausages until fully cooked and browned, then sautéing onions, apple, and garlic in the remaining pan juices to develop sweetness and depth. After adding tomatoes and the spiced stock mixture, the sauce is thickened with a cornflour slurry, then the sausages are returned to simmer, allowing the flavors to meld. This method ensures sausages remain juicy while absorbing the sauce.
The finished dish is suitable for serving with creamy mash or bread to soak up the sauce. It works well as a comforting main meal with a balance of spicy, sweet, and savory elements.
Ingredients
- 12 pork sausages or beef sausages
- 220 grams onion sliced finely, equivalent to a large onion or two medium onions

Prep the sauce and cornflour

Let's start cooking
- Heat a little oil in a large pan. Fry the sausages over a medium heat until cooked through and browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
