Merguez Sausage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casings

    Soak the natural hog casings in cold water for at least 30 minutes before use.

  2. 2

    Mix the Meat and Spices

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef (if using), minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Casings

    Rinse the soaked hog casings under cold water. Using a sausage stuffer, carefully stuff the mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.

  4. 4

    Chill the Sausages

    Place the stuffed sausages on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cooking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Sausages

    Grill or pan-fry the sausages over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
