Best Moroccan Lamb Sausage Rolls Recipes

HARISSA & LAMB SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the lamb, harissa (see our recipe), spices, coriander, garlic, preserved lemon and seasoning in a bowl. Pummel it with your hands to make sure it's well combined.
• Lightly dust your work surface with flour and lay the puff pastry on top. Cut it down the middle lengthways, then roll each piece with a rolling pin so each piece measures about 14 x 42cm.
• Divide the lamb mixture into four and roll each one into a sausage shape using your hands. Lay two of them, end to end, on one of the pieces of pastry. Brush some egg along one of the long sides of the pastry, just by the edge. Pull up the other side to encase the sausage shapes and press the sides together. Do the same with the rest of the meat and pastry.
• Cut each pastry parcel into four. Transfer these to a baking sheet, then brush each sausage roll with the egg and sprinkle over the sesame seeds, if using. Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden.

MOROCCAN LAMB SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry and set the oven to preheat to 350°F.
• Line a baking sheet with greased paper.
• In a large bowl mix together the ground lamb and sausage meat and add the garlic, onion, parsley, and cilantro to the meat and mix well. Next, add the spices, salt and pepper and mix again.
• Add the mixture to a blender or food processor and add the olive oil and 1 egg, blend until mixture becomes relatively smooth.
• Meanwhile, cut the pastry into squarish rectangles and brush one edge with beaten egg.
• Put some sausage mixture into the middle of the pastry.
• Fold the pastry over and seal it carefully. Lift the whole thing up and turn it over so that the sealed edge is underneath.
• Snip the ends of the sausage roll to ensure that it is neat and that meat isn't falling out. Repeat the process.
• Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with beaten egg and then sprinkle on sesame seeds.
• Place the rolls on the lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve with a simple tomato sauce, yogurt sauce or my personal favorite a Thai sweet chilli sauce.

MOROCCAN SAUSAGE STEW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish, heat the oil and brown the sausages with the onions for 10 mins until golden. Add the garlic and spice mix with 75ml water to prevent them from burning, and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Add the dates and tomatoes, mix well, then spread out onto 2 plates to cool before pouring into a freezer bag and freezing for up to 3 months.
• To cook from frozen, put the stew into a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish with all but 2 tbsp of the stock. Cover with a lid and gently heat to defrost for 25 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Once the stew is fully defrosted, mix the cornflour with the reserved stock and pour into the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins until thickened and piping hot. Serve with mashed potato.

MOROCCAN LAMB

Steps:

• Heat a large, non-stick frying pan. Cook the lamb well on all sides without adding extra oil. Tip in the spices, then fry for 1 min more until aromatic.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes and parsley, bring to the boil, then simmer gently, with a lid on, for 30 mins or until the lamb is tender. Serve sprinkled with more parsley.
