Usban (or osban) (
Arabic: عصبان, pronounced [ʕusˤbɑːn]) is a traditional kind of sausage in some North African countries Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, stuffed with a mixture of rice, herbs, lamb, chopped liver and heart.[1][2] This dish is usually served alongside the main meal of rice or couscous
, often on special occasions.
Several varieties of usban exist, and the herbs and spices used can vary but typically include
sausage casings and then tied off at the ends using thread. The sausages cook for an hour in a pot and are then browned in a frying pan or oven.[2][3]
