Merguez Dogs With Pickled Carrots And Cumin Aioli Recipe
Marc Murphy•

Do they surf in Morocco, home of spicy merguez lamb sausage? If they're hanging out with chef/owner Marc Murphy of Ditch Plains, probably. Unless they're cooking amazing tailgating food. Do they have football in Morocco? Ohhh, different kind of football.

These attractive hot dogs are served European-style on a baguette, but that doesn't mean they're not perfect for a pigskin nosh. They're just not beef franks, and we're okay with that. The cumin in the aioli plays nice with the cumin in the sausage. Good sportsmanship all around.
