Merguez sausage is not commonly stocked at the grocery store, so I decided to come up with an easy home version . Ingredients:
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric |
3 cloves garlic, peeled |
2 tablespoons harissa, or to taste (see ingredient note) |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1 pound lean ground lamb |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Combine salt and fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle and pound until fine. Stir cumin, cinnamon, coriander, turmeric, and garlic cloves into the salt mixture and continue grinding to form a thick paste. Stir in harissa sauce and tomato paste until combined.
2. Combine ground lamb and the spice paste together with a fork in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Form sausage into patties. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties until no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the size of the patties.
