Smart Merguez-Inspired Beyond Meat® Patties
with Lemony Mayo and Feta Side Salad
Merguez is a spicy sausage used in North African cuisine. It’s usually made with mutton or lamb, but we're swapping in Beyond Meat® and making patties in place of classic sausages. Briny feta and bright lemon add loads of flavour to both the patties and the salad.
