Sucuk: An spicy meat sausage

Sucuk also called sujuk in some regions is a dry, spicy and fermented sausage. Sucuk has different names in different countries. Sucuk is made by stuffing and fermenting minced meat mixed with special spices into puffed and dried intestines, which can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, by the fire, or while enjoying a barbecue. A sausage is a type of meat product usually made from ground meat, often pork, beef, or poultry, along with salt, spices, and other flavorings.

When referred to as “a sausage,” the product is usually cylindrical and encased in skin. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Some sausages can be stored without refrigeration. Most fresh sausages must be refrigerated or frozen until they are cooked.

The flavor of the sucuk is variable based on the usage of special spice mixtures that differ by manufacturers. In general, manufacturers follow certain processes to make high-quality sucuks. The flavor can also vary based on the expertise of the cook.

It usually consists of ground meat such as beef or lamb, but horse meat is often used in some countries like Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
