Step 1
Whisk together mayonnaise and harissa paste in a small bowl until smooth.
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.
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.
Step 4
Split rolls and toast them cut-side down in the skillet until golden, ~90 seconds.
Step 5
Spread harissa mayo on each toasted roll. Layer merguez, charred peppers, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Step 6
Serve immediately while merguez and bread are still warm.
