Merguez is a spicy sausage that is a staple in Moroccan cuisine, including Marrakech. It is made from a mixture of ground lamb or beef, seasoned with a blend of spices, including paprika, cumin, and chili pepper. The sausage is typically grilled or pan-fried until it is crispy and charred on the outside, while still juicy and flavorful on the inside. Merguez is often served as a street food snack or as part of a larger meal in Marrakech.
