Merguez is a spicy, fresh sausage made from ground lamb or beef, blended with bold seasonings like harissa, garlic, cumin, and paprika, and stuffed into a natural casing. Originally from North Africa, Merguez is a popular street food and home-grilled dish in Algeria, especially in Oran, Constantine, and Algiers. Typically grilled or pan-fried, it’s served with bread, fries, or on top of couscous. Its vibrant red color and smoky flavor have made it a staple of family cookouts and festive meals.
Common variations include homemade merguez with regional spice blends and mixed lamb-beef versions.
