Tips & Tricks

For a smoky flavor, grill the sausages instead of baking them.
Experiment with different types of sausages, such as lamb or merguez, to add more Moroccan flair.
Serve with a side of Moroccan-style roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
If you can't find harissa paste, you can make your own by blending together roasted red peppers, chili flakes, garlic, and spices.
Top the dish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or crumbled feta cheese for added creaminess.

Serving advice

Serve the Moroccan-style Bangers and Mash hot, allowing the flavors to meld together. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
