Step 1
Stir mayonnaise and harissa together in a small bowl until smooth and evenly colored.
Step 2
Slice tomato into 4 rounds. Split rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium-high until hot, ~1 minute. Add sausages and sear without moving for 2–3 minutes.
Step 4
Roll sausages to cook all sides, then remove when browned and internal temp hits 160°F, ~5 minutes total.

Spread harissa aioli on both sides of each roll. Layer lettuce, tomato, then 2 sausages per sandwich.
Step 6
Serve immediately while sausages are still hot.
