Sausages are a great way to get a flavorful meal on the table faster then you can say sauseech.

Spiced lamb merguez sausages get topped with tender pickled cabbage and a smooth tahini dressing. For a special wrap we used Hot Bread Kitchen’s hand stretched M’smen, a flaky Moroccan flatbread. Warmed up a little, it has a delicious buttery flavor. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

What you’ll need:
8 oz red cabbage
⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
1 lemon
7 oz 2% Greek yogurt
2 links merguez
¼ cup tahini
2 pieces Hot Bread Kitchen M’smen
fresh mint
fresh cilantro
olive oil
sugar
coarse salt
freshly ground pepper

Equipment:
large skillet

Recipe steps:

  1. Prep cabbage
    Trim core from cabbage and discard. Slice cabbage as thinly as possible.

  2. Pickle cabbage
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add cabbage and ¼ cup water and cook, tossing, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt and cook until liquid is almost completely absorbed, about 4 minutes. Transfer cabbage to a bowl and wipe out skillet.

  3. Make yogurt sauce
    Halve lemon and squeeze half into a small bowl. Add yogurt, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons water and whisk until pourable but not runny, adding another tablespoon water if mixture still seems thick.

  4. Make tahini sauce
    Whisk tahini, remaining half of lemon juice, and ¼ cup water in a separate small bowl; season with salt and pepper.

  5. Cook merguez
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet you used for the cabbage over medium-high. Add merguez and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned, 6–8 minutes. Pour off any fat into tahini sauce and whisk to combine.

  6. Warm M’smen
    Preheat broiler. Place M’smen directly on rack and broil just until warmed through, 1 minute. Pick mint and cilantro leaves from stems. Split merguez lengthwise if desired and build wraps with pickled cabbage, yogurt and tahini sauces, and herbs. Enjoy!
