Currywurst is a German avenue meals basic. Invented within the late Forties in Berlin by kiosk proprietor Herta Heuwer, this spicy sausage is a riff on bratwurst, and it’s extremely common (the common German consumes 10 currywursts a yr).
So, what’s in a currywurst? Effectively, you start with a sliced bratwurst base (a wealthy pork-blend sausage seasoned with salt, pepper and perhaps just a little marjoram, caraway seed, nutmeg or garlic), pour a beneficiant quantity of curried tomato sauce excessive and end with a touch of curry powder. Full-sized cutlery? No. Tiny wood fork? Sure.
In Germany, currywurst recipes range from area to area. Most sausage consultants agree that currywurst started as a factor in Berlin — however today, the Ruhr valley area additionally has a particular relationship with this ready-to-eat deal with. Living proof: Bochum’s very personal Herbert Grönemeyer as soon as devoted a barely tongue-in-cheek tune to the common-or-garden currywurst.
Pizza and currywurst have lots in frequent. They’re each consolation meals, they usually’re each scrumptious: Combining them into one mouthwatering dish simply is sensible.
Lately, Ooni ambassador Julia (@manopasto) invented a selfmade curry sauce of her very personal — an up to date model, if you’ll, of Heuwer’s unique Chillup sauce. Apples, orange juice, and only a contact of cola add sweetness to the paprika-enhanced tomato base. We predict it’s scrumptious.
(By the best way — currywurst normally comes with fries. For a totally genuine “currywurst pommes” expertise, add a handful of your favourite quick meals fries to the pizza post-bake.)
