How much harissa?
How much harissa?
I would like to make a few merquez sausages and instead of the spices use the harissa blend. Can someboby help me with amount I need? Making 3lbs. And on the ingrediends it says that there already is salt. So do I reduce my salt? Thanks for your help.
Timely question Zyggy, I too have been looking at making merguez for some time. It's something I have never made and a few days ago while in Montreal I bought a few links to try at a Lebanese butcher shop that had a big sign proclaiming to have "the best merguez in Montreal". And indeed, it was quite tasty and interesting, but being a kielbasa head, I have not tasted too many, so I don't know whether it was the best?
A couple of our members posted recipes with harissa that they blended themselves so you might want to look at them. I also bought some prepared harissa and while it does say it contains salt, I don't think it is a large amount, so an adjustment for it would be minimal, if any.
