MOROCCAN AND TUNISIAN MERGUEZA LAMB SAUSAGE

A hot and spicy North African lamb sausage, seasoned with Harrisa spices.



This lamb sausage is a favorite dish throughout North Africa. Lamb sausage is not made often in favor of pork or beef. This sausage is a bit spicy with the seasonings mimicking the African spice mixture called Harrisa. You can lighten up on the cayenne or red pepper in the recipe to make it less hot.
