Merguez is a red, spicy sausage, originally from North Africa. It is made with lamb and/or beef, and flavoured with a wide range of spices and a hot chili paste that gives it a red colour. It is traditionally grilled and served with a vegetable couscous.
Along with dates, olives and grapes, figs were the most important fruits in the diet of ancient Mediterranean civilizations. In fact, 11,400 year-old figs were found in the Jordan Valley in Palestine, making it the earliest domesticated fruit.
