The advantages of living in Scotland's most culturally diverse postcode - beautiful fresh merguez sausages - lamb in this case - that cost less than a supermarket charges for 'lips and hooves' links. I stewed them in a tomato sauce with garlic, fresh ginger, dried basil, lemon juice and tabil. I'd never used tabil before - never even heard of it - my other half has been working with a Tunisian family and they kindly passed some on to try - apparently it's the taste of home. It's a bit like ras el hanout but has a much greater chilli kick to it. Typically it contains - coriander seed, caraway seed, garlic powder, red chilli powder, rose flower powder, cumin, mint and cloves. I'll serve it with boiled rice and garnish with chopped boiled eggs and a final squeeze of lemon juice. I'm hungry writing this. - cheers - I.
