Preparation
- Step 1
Have the meat ground or outfit a meat grinder with the fine blade. Put the meat through the grinder.
- Step 2
Put the meat into a mixing bowl, and add the garlic, harissa, water, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly.
- Step 3
Outfit a sausage machine or a hand grinder with a sausage funnel. Slip the casings onto the funnel. Fill the casings with the ground meat mixture, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Step 4
Twist the casings at five- or six-inch intervals to indicate individual sausages. If the casings are not used, individual ''sausages'' can be made by dividing the meat into about 25 portions and shaping each one into a sausagelike shape.
- Step 5
When ready to cook, heat the oil in a skillet and add the sausages. Cook until lightly browned on one side and turn. Continue cooking, turning as necessary, until cooked through and nicely browned, about six minutes or longer.
- Lamb casings are available at several meat markets in Manhattan, including Florence Meat Market, 5 Jones Street, in Greenwich Village. The cost is 25 cents a foot.
