Home cooking is one of the pleasures of staying in a place for an extended time. We visit various markets and shops to find the great ingredients often difficult to find or non-existent at home. We found some delicious Merguez sausage at a boucher at the market at Bastille. the market is on Thursdays and Sundays from 8am to 12pm.

Merguez is a spicy lamb and beef sausage from North Africa. Below is our take on preparing Merguez, with pommes de terre and haricots verts instead of the usual couscous.

Bon appétit !!!
