Jack’s Merguez sausage

Posted

After meeting Jack Silberstein last week in his Brooklyn office and cooking his wonderful Beef Merguez Sausages, I’d like the share my findings.

First I sautéed the sausages in a little vegetable oil until their skins bubbled and became beautifully cris-py.

I sliced the sausages on the diagonal and served them with lightly sautéed (still slightly crunchy) orange, red and green peppers and onions.

Jack’s Merguez sausage has a succulent and rich yet delicate flavor. There’s a hint of the Middle East in the spicing, followed by slow acceleration of mild heat that tickles the tongue.

Jack’s Gourmet Beef Merguez Sausage comes in packages of six and can be found in leading kosher supermarkets. It’s available at Gourmet Glatt in Cedarhurst for $9.79.
