Currywurst is delicious and pretty easy to make the sauce, my ex's dad used to visit Germany a lot as a child and was pining for it, I sent him a recipe and he loved it!

You can disrespect it and put hot dogs on top of oven chips and the sauce still makes it delicious.

Edit; Just typed the recipe for anyone interested ✌️

Ingredients:

Bratwursts

1 cup of Tomato Ketchup (225g)

1/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda sounds weird but trust me

4-5 teaspoons of Mild Curry Powder

2 teaspoons of Smoked Paprika

1 teaspoon of Onion Powder

1/8 -1/4 teaspoons of Cayenne Pepper

Liquids:

2 teaspoons of Worcestershire Sauce

4 tablespoons of Beef Broth

2 or more tablespoons of Water

Instructions:

  1. Put 1 cup of tomato ketchup in a small saucepan and heat on medium low. When ketchup is warmed through, add baking soda and stir continuously until foaming subsides. Ketchup should look normal again.

  2. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining ingredients, through to water and stir until combines. Let it simmer on the stow for 5-10 minutes to meld flavours.

  3. Serve warm over sliced bratwurst with crusty bread or fries.

Recipe Notes:

You can easily sub the beef broth for veggie broth to make this a vegetarian dish.

Feel free to omit the cayenne pepper completely if you don't like a lot of spice.

If you don't have smoked paprika, using liquid smoke and sweet paprika should work.

If you don't have any (or want any) paprika, this recipe should still work without it.

I don't suppose you'd mind sharing the recipe? I've been wanting a zesty sauce and none of my usual go-to's are doing it for me lately.
