I am looking forward to making Mrs.Wheelbarrow's Merguez Sausage. what do you think would be good side dishes to go with that?

Hi! I hope you love this merguez. I serve it with shakshushka. Also with lentils and barley or farro. Great as a sausage on a roll with harissa.

Just learned that in France they are served as street food, like hot dogs but with a topping of French fries.

Am going to make them this week.

Summer of Eggplant is right! Grain salads are perfect with the Merguez. I like to have a yogurty side dish, especially if your sausages are spicy. Try shayma's http://www.food52.com/recipes/3541_yoghurt_spinach_dip_borani_esfanaaj_in_the_persian_manner, too.

A couscous or quinoa salad, grilled veggies tossed with some olive oil and za-atar. Or we make this cold Moroccan style soup often during the summer http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Moroccan-Spiced-Cold-Tomato-Soup-108156 with a grilled eggplant salad with feta and pine nuts.
