Beef and Lamb Merguez

Beef and Lamb Merguez is a spicy, fresh sausage originating from the Maghreb region of North Africa, made with a blend of ground beef and lamb, and known for its bold, flavorful seasoning, which includes harissa/paprika. Merguez is a staple in Maghrebi cuisine, which includes countries like Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. Merguez sausages can be grilled or pan-fried and can be served on their own, in sandwiches, or alongside dishes like couscous. Merguez has gained popularity in France, particularly among Algerian immigrants and their descendants, and is a common street food and fast food item.
