• 1 Tablespoon parsley flakes

Method

1. Place a medium fry pan on high heat and add oil.

3. Add sausages to a wok with chicken stock, onion, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, herbs and mixed vegetables. 
4.  Cook for 20 minutes covered, stirring every 5 minutes.
5. Add curry sauce to the mixture and combine well. (You may want to add a little more mustard powder or curry powder, depending on your taste)

Curry sauce

1. In a small bowl mix all ingredients together.
2. Add to the wok with sausage and vegetables when the method instructs you to do so.

Suggestions

• You can serve this dish with notatoes or on it’s own. Chicken sausages or vegetarian soy sausages can be used instead of beef.
• If you use regular low fat ricotta rather than low fat smooth ricotta we would suggest that you put the ricotta in the microwave for 30-60 seconds on high to soften it up a bit.
