Instructions

1. – In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, paprika, cumin, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, oregano, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

2. – Form the seasoned lamb mixture into small sausage patties, about 3-4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

3. – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the Merguez patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

4. – In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, parsley, mint, lemon juice, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. – Serve the Merguez sausage patties warm, with the herby yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

For a spicier version, increase the amount of cayenne pepper. The sausage patties can also be grilled instead of pan-fried.
