Sucuk (Soujuk) | |||
Soujouk or sujuq is a type of sausage eaten in many countries. For example, it is common in Turkish, Bulgarian and Armenian cuisine. It consists of ground meat, with various spices including cumin, garlic,salt, and red pepper, fed into a sausage casing and allowed to dry for several weeks. It can be more or less spicy; it is fairly salty and has a high fat content. Soujouk must be eaten cooked (when raw, it is very hard and stiff). It is often cut into slices and cooked without additional oil, its own fat being sufficient to fry it. At breakfasts, it is used in a way similar to bacon or spam. They are fried in a pan, often with eggs, accompanied by a hot cup of sweet black tea. | |||
