Ingredients

• 8 low sodium chicken sausages
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, finely chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, sliced carrots
• 1 sliced red bell pepper
• 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 cup green peas
• to taste chopped fresh cilantro
• to taste black pepper
• 2 cups, cooked brown rice

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken sausages and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3

Stir in the sliced carrots and red bell pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add curry powder, ground turmeric, and ground cumin to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the low sodium chicken stock and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Return the browned sausages to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet and cook for 20 minutes. This allows the sausages to absorb the curry flavors.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, add the green peas and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Season with black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed, and remove from heat.

Step 9

Serve the curried sausages over cooked brown rice, garnishing with fresh chopped cilantro for added flavor and color.
