Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk together mayonnaise and harissa paste in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add merguez and sear until deeply browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, ~8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the bell pepper into thick rings, remove seeds. Push sausages to the side, add pepper rings to the hot skillet. Sear until charred, ~3 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    Split rolls and toast them cut-side down in the skillet until golden, ~90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Spread harissa mayo on each toasted roll. Layer merguez, charred peppers, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while merguez and bread are still warm.
