So, what is merguez?

Merguez is a North African spicy sausage made with ground lamb or beef, seasoned with an exotic blend of spices such as cumin, paprika, coriander, and harissa. The meat is typically coarsely ground and mixed with onions, garlic, and other herbs before being stuffed into a casing. Merguez has a unique, complex flavor profile that strikes the perfect balance between savory and spicy, making it a popular ingredient in various dishes such as couscous, tagines, and sandwiches. With its bold taste and versatile uses, merguez is a must-try for any adventurous foodie looking to spice up their culinary repertoire.
