RECIPE TIPS
SWAP THE SAUSAGES

On cooler days, you’ll appreciate a big pot of something comforting that you can eat with a spoon and fork. I have used merguez sausages for their spicy flavour and rich colour, but if you are looking for something milder, then any good-quality sausage will work well, too.

Tasty and filling, although I couldn't find merguez sausages, normal ones tasted just as good! We found the sugar and mustard a bit much, so we reduced it to 1 tbsp mustard and 1 tsp sugar

I wouldn't bother with the sugar - it tasted unnaturally sweet, and overpowered the taste of the Merguez. You'd be better to use regular (cheap) sausages, or just leave the sugar out.

Simple, but tasty comfort food. The mustard/Worcester/sugar combo works really well. Just one change - I removed most of the fat that came off the sausages first before adding the other ingredients - seeing it as solid fat in the bowl the next day was the best place for it!

Love to do this, but merguez evaporate about 200 miles north of Berwick..
