Recipe notes
It's easy to grill spicy lamb merguez sausage and serve with a cooling yogurt dip spiked with harissa. Tuck the sausages into pita bread or a baguette.
RECIPE Preparation
- Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook the lamb merguez until they are charred and crispy, rotating frequently. Remove the merguez from the heat and let rest.
- Meanwhile, make the harissa sauce: mix the yogurt with half of the harissa, then add the lemon juice and honey. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Adjust the seasoning as needed with the remaining harissa, or add more lemon juice and honey to achieve your desired spiciness. The sauce should have a bit of heat. Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Slice the pitas in half and spread the harissa-yogurt mixture inside. Place one lamb merguez sausage in each pita half. Alternatively, slice the baguette like a hot dog bun to hold the sausage. Top with pickled turnip slices and serve.
