Ingredients

12 merguez
olive oil
1 tsp harissa
3 tomato
10 turnip
5 carrot
2 zucchini
400 g chickpeas
8 chicken drumsticks
2 can tomato paste
3 tbsp couscous spices
2 cubes beef bouillon cube

Instructions

Wash and peel the carrots, turnips, and tomatoes, then cut them into cubes.

In a pressure cooker, pour in the olive oil and heat. Add the chicken drumsticks and brown them, then add 1 liter of water, the bouillon cubes, tomato paste, carrots, turnips, tomatoes, couscous spices, and harissa.

Close your pressure cooker and cook for 25 minutes once it reaches pressure.

Wash and cut the zucchinis into cubes and drain the chickpeas.

After the 25 minutes, release the steam from your pressure cooker, open it, and add the zucchinis and chickpeas.

Return to heat: cook for another 10 minutes once your pressure cooker is under pressure.

Cook the merguez sausages on a grill or in a skillet, but not with the vegetables.

Serve with fine semolina.
