If you love lamb and all those pungent spices of North Africa (coriander, cumin, fennel, cilantro) and you like a little heat, this recipe will blow your head off. Oh yeah, practically no carbs.

I have two secrets to making Merguez aromatic and tender. The first is to toast the spices and leave them whole. This gives you little pops of flavor in each bite. The second is to wrap the sausages in oven-safe plastic wrap and cook them at medium rare sous vide for 24 hours. That ensures the lamb is tender and already cooked before going on the grill.

I have another secret, but this is in the plating and presentation. We’re going to serve it with a ribbon of Japanese Mayonaise and chopped fresh cilantro. Cilantro is also in the sausage itself, so you might want to get a second fresh bunch of cilantro the day you serve it.

And canola oil as well as MSG. I’d just make some mayo with avo oil and try to figure out the “spices” bit. Oh who am I kidding, I’d just use mayo mixed with wasabi. :yum:

It doesn’t say what the ingredients are for the Japanese mayo.

I have personally found avoiding PUFAs/seed oils to be difficult. I was on this diet for years before I realized how many PUFAs I was eating and where they are. Heck, I used to get olives in (hand packed) containers from the local store, for years, until I actually read the label and saw they were in seed oils. I had no idea. I now get olives in brine, which means in jars.

Now, I just assume that anything I buy that’s prepared has seed oils, sugar, or something else added to it. And then I’m overjoyed if it doesn’t.

Here’s the link to the page with the ingredients.
Edited replacing the wrong link, the new one has a screen shot of the ingredients, vegtable oils, etc.

Not really that bad:

EGGS, VINEGAR (CONTAINS APPLE), SALT, SUGAR, WHITE PEPPER, HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN, ZANTHAN GUM, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, PEPPER EXTRACT CONTAINS EGG AND SOY

Think I’d make my own, though.
