In Morocco, merguez is usually eaten grilled or with couscous, but lentils are an excellent accompaniment, as in this recipe provided by Cheviot Hill Sheep Farm, located in Pleasant Hill. Its sausages have sweeter, warming spices such as fennel and cinnamon and are not spicy. Owner Gail Gould raises chef’s quality grass-fed Cheviot lamb on organic pastures and makes specialty lamb sausages made with local organic ingredients and no sugar or gluten. Pork casings are commonly used for sausages, but that defeats the purpose for people who don’t eat pork but do enjoy sausages. Lamb casings are thinner in diameter. “We pack our sausages only in lamb casing,” Gould says. “No pork casing, ever.” Cheviot Hill Sheep Farm sells merguez and smoked merguez, all-lamb Mexican-style chorizo and quince and honey low-salt sausage at Kiva Grocery and Market of Choice in Eugene, the Marketplace@Sprout! on Fridays in Springﬁ eld, Dexter Lake Farmer’s Market and Lane County Farmers Market in Eugene. The sausages and other seasonal products from the farm, such as duck eggs, are also available on the Eugene Local Foods website. “This recipe is also delicious with Cheviot Hill Sheep Farm smoked merguez,” Gould says. “Simply omit the poaching as the smoked sausages are already fully cooked.” — Vanessa Salvia 2 links Cheviot Hill Sheep Farm merguez sausage 1 bunch Swiss chard (about 3/4 pound) 2/3 cup green lentils 2 cups chicken stock, vegetable stock or water Salt and pepper 2 or 3 minced cloves of garlic 1 sprig (2 inches long) fresh rosemary, minced In a pot over medium heat, cook the lentils for 20 to 25 minutes with the stock, a bit of salt and pepper and the minced rosemary. Meanwhile, separate the chard stems from the leaves. Cut the leaves into strips and dice the stems. Boil the stems for 5 minutes, then add the leaves and boil for another 3 minutes. Drain. Poach the sausage for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the water, slice into rounds and cook the rounds in a skillet over medium high heat until crispy on both sides (about 10 minutes total). Add minced garlic when the sausages are almost crispy. Add the chard, stir to heat and serve over the lentils. chow! WINTER 2014 15
