Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 tsp whole coriander seeds
1 tsp whole fennel seeds
1/2 tsp ras el hanout
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp harissa paste
2 large cloves garlic, pressed
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 lb ground lamb

Steps:

  • 1. In a small skillet over medium heat, add cumin coriande and fennel seeds; toast until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let the seeds cool off for 15 minutes before transferring into a spice grinder; grind to a fine powder. Transfer spice mixture to a small bowl and mix ras el hanout, paprika, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, harissa and garlic; mix until well blended.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, combine lamb (directly from fridge) and spice mixture. Spread tomato paste on top and quickly mix with hands. Cover meat tightly with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
  • 3. Next day, make patties or sausage. If making sausage, soak casing in cold water for 30 minutes and rinse throroughly. Lightly lubricate a small sausage nozzle with grapeseed oil. Pull casing over and leave about 2-inches overhanging at the end; make a knot. Proceed with sausage making and when done, twist into 6-inch links and burst bubbles with a toothpick or sausage pricker.

I love the smoky flavor that the grilled merguez has. It's a perfect dish for a summer barbecue.

This is a great recipe for a party appetizer. You can make the merguez skewers ahead of time and then grill them just before serving.

I've also used this recipe to make merguez burgers. They're a delicious and unique alternative to traditional beef burgers.

I like to serve this dish with a side of couscous and a yogurt sauce. It's a perfect combination of flavors and textures.

I've made this dish with both ground lamb and ground beef and it's always delicious. The lamb has a more rich flavor, but the beef is a good option if you're looking for something a little leaner.
