Northern African Sausage
Spicy (or not), home made sausage.
Using a food processor allows you to control things. And it's so easy. This is based loosely off an African dish called merguez. But lamb here is very expensive for some reason, so I decided to use pork, and they had some nice chops on sale. I made this a day ahead, and allowed the flavors to blend, but you can go just a couple hours if you need to. I spent less than 20 minutes making the sausage in this fashion, and I can't say you would save much time using pre-ground meat, but you can. Just make sure there is some fat content in whatever meat you use, or it will end up too dry. The meat is the stand out star here, and had really good flavor.

Next day, I rolled them in 8 about even pieces, but, for a roll/sandwich, 12 might be a better size.

Just grill them, I'm using a stove top grill here.

Pita bread in the stores here, not so good, so we choose tortillas. tzatziki sauce, onion

The wife likes tomato. I forgot to get cilantro or flat leaf parsley 😟, I think avacados would be good also. Or serve with rice and a side of choice.
