Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into chips
Add the chips to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp
Whilst the chips are cooking, peel and finely chop your shallot[s]
Chop your tomato[es] finely
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Add your fennel seeds to a pestle & mortar and grind (or finely chop if you don't have a pestle and mortar) to a fine powder
Combine your beef mince and ground fennel seeds (not a fan of aniseed? Only add a little!) in a bowl with half your ground cumin (save the rest for later!), your ground paprika, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and the chopped garlic
Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up until thoroughly combined (clean hands is the best way!) – this is your merguez-style mix
Divide the merguez-style mix and roll into small sausage shapes (3 per person!) – these are your merguez-style koftas
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the merguez-style koftas and cook for 2-3 min on each side or until browned, then reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, covered, for a further 6-7 min then remove the lid
Cook, uncovered, for 2-3 min or until the koftas are cooked through (no pink meat!)
Meanwhile, combine the chopped tomato, shallot and coriander in a bowl with the remaining ground cumin, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your cumin salsa
Combine your harissa paste (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and mayo in a separate bowl and give everything a good mix up – this is your harissa mayo
Add your ciabatta[s] to a separate baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 5 min or until warm and crusty
Carefully slice in half before serving
Fill your warmed ciabatta with some harissa mayo, the merguez-style koftas and some cumin salsa – this is your merguez-style sandwich
Serve the merguez-style sandwich with the chips, remaining cumin salsa and remaining harissa mayo to the side
Enjoy!
