SUNNY'S CURRYWURST WITH QUICK-PICKLED PEPPERS AND ONIONS AND SUNNY'S CURRY KETCHUP



Sunny's Currywurst with Quick-Pickled Peppers and Onions and Sunny's Curry Ketchup image

Sunny says, "Some of my first memories of grilling - and hot dogs to be specific - were in Germany using bratwursts and shoving them in chewy, crusty bread called 'brotchen.' Currywurst is a famed dish there served with cooked and sliced bratwurst covered with a spicy-sweet curry ketchup sauce. This is my version of the dish that's summer- and grill-ready!"

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

6 links fresh, pork bratwurst
4 cups your favorite beer, such as Corona
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium red onion, halved and sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded, halved and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded, halved and sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, halved and sliced
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for brushing
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
6 hot dog buns, demi-baguettes or any bratwurst-length crusty bread, sliced like hot dog buns
Sunny's Curry Ketchup, for serving, recipe follows
3 pounds Roma tomatoes, quartered (10 to 12 tomatoes)
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium red onion, quartered
One 3-inch-long cinnamon stick
One 1/4-inch-thick disc fresh ginger
1 star anise pod
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup mild yellow curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Kosher salt
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • In a large pan with straight sides, or in a pot, add the bratwurst links, beer, liquid smoke, red pepper flakes, whole black peppercorns, garlic, onion, all of the bell peppers and a nice pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer for 15 minutes. Flip and nudge the bratwursts if they stick out above the liquid as they cook.
  • Brush a grill with oil, then heat the grill to medium-high. Remove the bratwursts from the liquid and place on the grill. Cook 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to brown and blacken all sides (don't worry about the concave side). Remove from the grill and allow to rest under aluminum foil for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, add the sugar and vinegar to the pan with the cooked peppers and onions. Stir into the beer mixture until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Warm the buns or bread in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the bread.
  • Slice each bratwurst into 1/2-inch discs and place inside the warmed bread. Using tongs, grab and shake any excess liquid off the quick-pickled peppers and onions, then top each bratwurst with an equal amount. Top that with a nice and hefty dollop or two of Sunny's Curry Ketchup.
  • Place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, cinnamon stick, ginger, star anise, sugar, curry powder, allspice, peppercorns, a pinch of salt, corn syrup and vinegar in a stock pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a light simmer. Use a potato masher or wooden spoon to mash down and break up the tomatoes as it heats up.
  • Cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook 45 minutes more to evaporate and thicken while stirring occasionally. Remove the cinnamon stick, anise pod and ginger. Using an immersion blender or a stand blender (slightly cool?), blend until smooth. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or until cool. Taste and if needed, add vinegar 1/2 teaspoon at a time to balance the sweetness.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 36 pigs and 1 1/4 cups sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
Freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Yellow curry powder, for dusting
36 cocktail franks

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Use cooking spray to coat the inside of an 8-inch springform pan. Spray the outside of a 3 1/2- to 3 3/4-inch-diameter ramekin and place it in the center of the springform pan. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the ketchup, honey, curry powder and plenty of black pepper in a small saucepot. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat; set aside.
  • For the rolls: Lightly dust your work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Unroll the puff pastry and roll out to a 14-by-9-inch rectangle. Dust the top all over with the curry powder. Using one frank as a guide, cut the pastry into strips slightly smaller than the franks, about 1 1/4-by-2 1/4 inches. Roll each frank in a piece of pastry and pinch the seam to close it.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Starting with the outer circle and allowing some space between, place each pig in a blanket vertically in the prepared springform pan in two concentric circles. Chill for 30 minutes. Bake until the tops are golden, about 35 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and bake until the inner puff pastry is baked through, about 25 minutes more. Pour the sauce in the ramekin and serve.

CURRYWURST

SUNNY'S EASY S'MORES TRUFFLES



Sunny's Easy S'mores Truffles image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups milk chocolate chips
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Pinch of kosher salt
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers

Steps:

  • For the truffle base: In a double boiler (you know the rules, don't let that water touch the bottom of your top pot or bowl), add the milk chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, bittersweet chocolate and salt. Cook until the mixture reduces in volume and slightly thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a tray and then refrigerate until solid, about 3 hours.
  • For the coating. Set the oven to broil or the highest temperature possible on your oven and preheat. On a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet with edges, add the marshmallows in 1 layer. Broil until the marshmallows are black: not brown, but black. If the oven is uneven, rotate the tray during broiling, but it needs to char them black. Have the strength to wait.
  • Allow the marshmallows to cool completely; sliding the parchment off the sheet onto a plate and placing it in the fridge helps. Once the marshmallows are hardened completely, remove and finely chop. Add them to a large bowl with the graham cracker crumbs and stir to combine.
  • Remove the truffle base from the refrigerator and, using a small scoop or spoon, make several balls a bit smaller than a golf ball or the size of a shooter marble. Roll these in the graham/marshmallow coating and place on a tray. Repeat with the rest of the truffle base and coating and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature.

CURRYWURST



Currywurst image

Created in postwar Berlin in 1949, currywurst originated as a "poor man's steak," cobbled together using sausages, canned tomatoes and curry powder. Today, it's a popular street food across Germany, although how you enjoy it depends on the vendor and your preferences: The sausages can be served with or without skin, and you can request your currywurst sauce to be scharf (hot) or even extra-scharf. In traditional German currywurst sauces, tomatoes and vinegar provide acidity, sugar or juice lend sweetness and mild curry powder adds spice (although some adventurous cooks add other aromatics and spices, like mustard powder, hot chile or even lemongrass). This recipe, adapted from Alfons Schuhbeck's "The German Cookbook" (Phaidon, 2018), is a great introduction, not too spiced or too sweet, and can be customized according to taste.

Categories     dinner, weekday, sausages, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon mild curry powder, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
1 small dried chile de árbol
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juices
3/4 cup vegetable stock
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
Kosher salt, to taste
6 to 8 fresh bratwurst sausages, knockwurst sausages or hot dogs
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable
French fries, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the currywurst ketchup: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon curry powder, paprika, cinnamon and chile and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, then add the chopped tomatoes and their juices, stock and vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick and chile de arbol, then transfer tomato mixture to a blender and purée until smooth. Blend in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a steady stream. Season to taste with salt. (This makes about 2 cups of sauce.)
  • Meanwhile, using the tines of a fork, lightly poke a few holes in the skin of the sausages on all sides to allow air to escape as the sausages cook. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and pan-fry, rotating until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on what type of sausage you select. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the sausages on an angle into thick coins, if desired, and divide the sausages among the plates. Transfer the curry sauce to a squeeze bottle and drizzle on top of the sausages (alternately, you can simply drizzle the curry sauce on top using a spoon). Sprinkle with additional curry powder, if desired, and serve with French fries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your currywurst.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of sausage. Currywurst is traditionally made with pork sausage, but you can also use beef, chicken, or even lamb.
  • Make sure to fry the sausage until it is crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will give it a nice texture and flavor.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. This is the key ingredient in the currywurst sauce, so make sure to choose one that you like the taste of.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level of the sauce to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the currywurst with your favorite sides. Some popular options include fries, mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut.

Conclusion:

Currywurst is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a popular street food in Germany, but it can also be enjoyed at home. With its crispy sausage, flavorful sauce, and variety of toppings, currywurst is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
