Homemade Merguez Sausage

Ingredients

To make this succulent sausage, you will need:

  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1/2 pound ground beef (or pork, if you prefer)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Natural hog casings (for stuffing the sausage)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your homemade merguez sausage:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and beef (or pork). Mix well to combine the meats.
  2. Add in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, crushed coriander seeds, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, parsley, and cinnamon. Mix everything thoroughly until well blended.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the meat mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor infusion.
  4. If you are using natural hog casings, rinse them under cold water and soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before stuffing.
  5. Once ready, take the meat mixture and fill the casings using a sausage stuffer, being careful not to over-stuff them. Twist sausages into 6-inch links and tie off the ends. Make sure to prick any air bubbles with a pin.
  6. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausages for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are nicely browned and cooked through.

And there you have it! Delicious, homemade merguez sausages that are sure to impress your family and friends. These sausages are fantastic served with grilled vegetables, in wraps, or simply on their own. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!
