Description

Our lamb merguez sausages are handmade by our butchers, Lee and Ray, with South Downs Lamb, cumin, cayenne, coriander, fennel, paprika, salt and pepper.  They pack a spicy hit that complements the flavour of the lamb and makes a delicious sausage.  This is a lovely, warming autumnal sausage that can be eaten on its own, but goes really well in this North African tomato-based dish.

Each pack contains five sausages (approx 450g).

Merguez Ragout with Poached Eggs
Serves 4

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, small dice
  • 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 pound merguez sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon ras el hanout,
  • 1 teaspoon Spanish sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cans chopped tomatoes
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped coriander, stems included
  • 2 tablespoons harissa
  • warm crusty bread, for serving
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until golden. Toss in the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add the merguez and sauté until almost cooked through
  2. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Ras el Hanout, Spanish smoked paprika and salt. Stir to combine and cook for a minute to lightly toast the spices. Add the tomatoes. Turn up the heat to medium and cook until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  3. Crack the eggs over the mixture, cover and cook until the whites set, but the yolks are still soft.
  4. Divide the eggs and ragout among four warm bowls using a large spoon. Top with a sprinkling of coriander and a teaspoon of Harissa.
