About Merguez sausage
Merguez sausage is a traditional North African delicacy, widely enjoyed in Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian cuisines. Made from ground lamb or beef, this sausage is seasoned with earthy spices such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and harissa, giving it a robust, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor. Its distinctive red hue comes from the addition of chili peppers or paprika. Merguez is typically grilled or pan-fried and often paired with couscous, salads, or flatbreads. While rich in protein and essential nutrients from the meat, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is advised for those monitoring their heart health or salt intake. Its bold flavor and unique seasoning make it a favorite for those seeking a taste of North African cuisine.
