  2. Combine ground lamb and the spice paste together with a fork in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  3. Form sausage into patties. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties until no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the size of the patties.

Recipe Note

Merguez sausage is not commonly stocked at the grocery store, so I decided to come up with an easy home version.
