1

Gather your ingredients

Make sure you have the following ingredients on hand before you start cooking: - Merguez sausages (quantity depends on your appetite) - Cooking oil or spray - Salt and pepper (to taste) - Your favorite condiments or toppings (optional)

2

Prepare your campfire

Find a safe spot for your campfire. Clear any flammable material around the area and ensure you have enough space to cook without any hazards nearby. If needed, build a fire pit or use an existing fire ring. Gather dry wood and kindling to create your fire. Remember to follow camping regulations and guidelines.

3

Heat up the campfire

Light your campfire using matches or a fire starter. Allow the fire to burn down to a bed of glowing embers, which will provide consistent heat for cooking. This may take around 30-45 minutes depending on the wood and fire size.

4

Prep your sausages

Poke a few small holes in each merguez sausage using a skewer or a sharp knife. This will prevent them from bursting while cooking and help release any excess fat. Season the sausages with salt and pepper, or any other spices you prefer.

5

Cook the sausages

Place your sausages on a grilling grate or skewer, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking. Place the grate or skewer over the campfire, making sure it's at a suitable distance from the flames. Turn the sausages occasionally to cook them evenly on all sides until they are browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the heat of your fire and the thickness of the sausages.

6

Serve and savor

Once your merguez sausages are cooked to perfection, remove them from the campfire. Let them rest for a couple of minutes to retain their juices. Serve your sausages on a plate or in a bun, and garnish them with your favorite condiments or toppings. Take a bite, feel the smoky flavors dance on your tongue, and enjoy the deliciousness that only campfire cooking can bring!
