Had Food Network on while I was making the bed this morning.
Giada was touting these bites, and with the holidays fast approaching, I thought they might be a good, new appetizer for your family GTGs.
I have no idea what merguez sausage is, nor where to get spicy lamb sausage (I am in NW TN, after all...)
But, I'd make it with some Spicy Italian Sausage instead.

Spicy Sausage Bites
Yield:20 bites

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Two 8.5-ounce packages merguez sausage or spicy lamb sausage
10 ounces store-bought puff pastry, cut into 1-by-3-inch strips
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon salt

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan, followed by the sausages. Sear the sausages on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and let cool to room temperature.

Cut the sausages into 1 1/2-inch pieces and roll the each piece in a strip of puff pastry. Place the wrapped sausages, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the rolls with egg and sprinkle with the caraway seeds. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

While the rolls bake, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mint and salt. Let the flavors marry for at least 5 minutes before serving alongside the sausage bites.

Well, just because you're weird, I'll do it.

I'll put it in its own thread.
