Categories     dinner, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield About 25 sausages

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds shoulder of lamb, not too lean
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
5 tablespoons Harissa (see recipe)
1/2 cup cold water
Salt to taste, if desired
freshly ground pepper to taste
16 feet lamb casings (see note)
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil

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.
