Ingredients: 4 oz merguez sausage, casing removed and crumbled; 2 tbsp unsalted butter; 2 tbsp all-purpose flour; ½ cup whole milk, warmed; 2 tbsp finely grated Gruyère cheese; Sea salt and white pepper; ⅓ cup roasted shelled pistachios, finely chopped; ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs; 1 large egg, beaten; 2 cups neutral oil for frying; 3 tbsp roasted walnuts; 1½ tbsp harissa paste; ½ tbsp pomegranate molasses; 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 tbsp warm water; 1 clove garlic, minced

Ground merguez sausage is folded into a silky béchamel, chilled, breaded with ground roasted pistachios and crispy panko, then fried until the exterior shatters. A vibrant harissa-walnut sauce spiked with pomegranate molasses provides tangy, herbal dipping contrast.
