Massaman Beef Sausage Curry

4 April 2019 By

Massaman curry has complex flavours from ingredients including pepper, star anise, cardamoms, coriander, peanuts and coconut cream. Often cooked with beef or lamb it also works beautifully with chicken and pumpkin, sweet potato, eggplant and potatoes. Recently when I was bored with the usual ingredients, I cooked sausages in my Thai Massaman paste for an event. Result − I had people literally eating out of my pot.
