Best Tunisian Eggah With Sausages Recipes

MERGUEZ (A TUNISIAN SAUSAGE)

Steps:

• Have the meat ground or outfit a meat grinder with the fine blade. Put the meat through the grinder.
• Put the meat into a mixing bowl, and add the garlic, harissa, water, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly.
• Outfit a sausage machine or a hand grinder with a sausage funnel. Slip the casings onto the funnel. Fill the casings with the ground meat mixture, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Twist the casings at five- or six-inch intervals to indicate individual sausages. If the casings are not used, individual ''sausages'' can be made by dividing the meat into about 25 portions and shaping each one into a sausagelike shape.
• When ready to cook, heat the oil in a skillet and add the sausages. Cook until lightly browned on one side and turn. Continue cooking, turning as necessary, until cooked through and nicely browned, about six minutes or longer.

TUNISIAN COUSCOUS SALAD WITH GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• In a large frying pan with a lid, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, couscous, cumin, cayenne, and ½ teaspoon of the salt to the pan.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the couscous starts to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in tomato juice and water. Bring to a simmer.
• Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the couscous to a platter or large glass bowl to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Coat the sausages with ½ tablespoon of the oil.
• Broil the sausages, turning occasionally, until completely cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. When the sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into thin slices.
• Toss the cooled couscous with the lemon juice and the remaining oil, salt and tomato. Top with the sausages and cilantro.
