These are classic sausages made with offal that are typical dishes of both Libya and Tunisia. Traditionally sheep's intestines are used as the casings and these are stuffed with the meat mixture. You could substitute the sheep's intestines with butcher's sausage skins if desired
Ingredients:
1 sheep's stomach (dwara)
300g sheep's intestines (masareen)
juice of 4 lemons
2 tbsp salt
1 bunch of dill, finely chopped
1 lobe lamb's liver (kabda) [about 250g]
1 lamb's heart (habra)
4 spring onions, chopped
200g cooked rice
3 bunches coriander (maadanous), chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 tsp bzaar
1 tsp Hararat (Libyan five-spice)
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp bzaar
1 tsp dried mint (na'naa)
120ml oil
Osban
(Offal Sausages) Preparation:
Method:
Thoroughly clean the stomach and intestines then soak in hot water for 20 minutes. Wash once again then marinate in a mix of lemon juice and salt. Cover and set aside to soften for 80 minutes.
After this time wash the tripe once more to remove any trace and salt. Chop the liver and heart as finely as you can then add to a large bowl along with the spring onions, rice, coriender, dill, chilli powder, salt, black pepper, 1 tsp bzaar and allspice. Use this mixture to stuff the stomach and intestines. Tie these off then combine 1l water with the tomato purée, bzaar and mint in a pan. Bring to a boil then add the stuffed stomach and intestines. Boil for about 40 minutes, or until cooked through then remove and set aside to cool.
Add the oil to a pan and when hot slice the stuffed stomach into rounds and the stuffed intestines into sausage-sized lengths. Fry in the hot oil until well browned and cooked through. Serve hot.
