You’ll be extra excited to fire up your TravelQ portable grill for this recipe because there is truly something special about indulging in a hearty bowl of currywurst after an intense game of beach volleyball or ultimate Frisbee.

Currywurst is one of Germany’s most loved street food options, and chances are that it’s one of the most popular beach snacks, too. These German-style sausages are pre-cooked, so you just have to grill them until the outside gets all crispy. Slice them into bite-sized pieces, toss them in a delectable curry-tomato sauce, dust with curry powder, and serve with thick-cut French fries.
