Homemade Merguez: the easy recipe

AuthorCategoryDifficultyIntermediate

I have wanted to make my own sausages for a long time, a real challenge that was important to me. Moreover, since I got my meat grinder, I don’t even buy ground meat anymore; I make it myself, and it’s a delight. To find the right mix, I had to be patient and conduct research online, gathering information from those around me. I finally found my happiness. I owe this version to several people, so a big thank you to all!

Prep Time30 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time40 mins
Ingredients
 800 Beef (a tender cut)
 200 Lamb
 4 Fat from the chuck of beef
 1 Fine salt
 1 Paprika
 1 Ground fennel seed
 1 Cumin
 1 Ground coriander
 1 Ginger
 1 Garlic
 1 Harissa
 2 pinches Nutmeg
 3 Oil
Directions
1

Start by rinsing the casings in warm water (if using dried versions, soak them for an hour or longer). Chop the meats using a grinder intended for sausages. Mix the spices with the oil in a bowl to make a paste. Add the paste to the meat and knead with your hands to ensure the spices penetrate the meat. Slide a casing onto the cone of the meat grinder or the end of a funnel and stuff the casings, pushing with a pusher or your fingers (only if using a funnel; do not use your hands when operating a grinder). Tie them every ten to fifteen centimeters; I had some difficulty because my funnel was not really suitable and caused holes, so I stuffed my casings in batches rather than all at once. It is preferable to let the sausages rest overnight in the refrigerator.
