We really loved this dish and it works really well with Golden Couscous. Simple and super tasty.
Wine Suggestion: We opened a delightful Grenache from the south of France, the Les Paiens Paria made by Domaine Ventenac. As it wasn’t too tannic it didn’t fight with the spicy sausages and harissa.
Spicy merguez and cod tray roast – serves 6
- 8 merguez sausages, cut into chunks
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp harissa, depending on how spicy you like
- 2 x 400g tins cherry tomatoes
- 100g Nocerella green olives
- 800g cod loin, cut into 6 pieces
- a bunch of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 2 lemons, cut into wedges
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/Gas 6.
Put the sausages in the bottom of a roasting tin and bake for 10 minutes, then stir in the onions and bake for another 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and harissa and put back in the oven for another 20 minutes.
Stir in the olives and sit the cod pieces in the sauce, drizzle them with a little olive oil and season. Put back into the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Scatter with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
