Sucuk: Why turkish garlic sausage is so popular

The sausage specialty Sucuk is widely used in Turkish cuisine. Thanks to its particularly spicy taste, Sucuk is also becoming increasingly popular in Germany. The various shapes and varieties can be prepared in a variety of ways and can be integrated into every meal of the day. In this article, you will learn how Sucuk sausage gets its unique taste, what different types there are, and what dishes you can use the specialty for.

What is Sucuk?

Sucuk is a raw sausage that is usually made from veal, beef, or lamb and is Halal. Sucuk is usually air-dried during production, but in a few cases, it is also smoked. The sausage gets its distinctive taste from an intense seasoning with selected spices.

These spices give the sucuk its unique flavor:

• Garlic
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cayenne pepper
• Cumin
• Allspice

What are the different types of sucuk?

There are three classic ways of producing Sucuk sausage. The specialty is then sold either as a whole or already sliced into ready-to-eat pieces for quick enjoyment. The air-dried and cured sausage has the advantage of being very long-lasting.

Varieties:

• Kangal-Sucuk: Translated to German, "Kringel" owes its name to its ring-like shape.
• Parmak-Sucuk: Parmak means "finger". This sausage consists of two finger-like individual sausages that are joined together.
• Büfe-Sucuk: The Büfe-Sucuk, in German "Buffet" is a much longer version of the Parmak-Sucuk and is sold individually.

Yayla's Sucuk is available in various forms for purchase. When it comes to taste, you can rely on our particularly delicious seasoning for all varieties - familiar flavor in versatile forms.

Origin of garlic sausage

Sucuk is a typical specialty, especially for Turkish cuisine. However, the sausage was not first served in Turkey, but in the Ottoman Empire, where it was first prepared in the Balkans and quickly gained great popularity. Many years later, the garlic sausage made its way to Central Europe through guest workers.

Can Sucuk sausage be eaten raw?

Sucuk can be eaten raw without any problems, as it has been air-dried like other salami sausages. However, in many typical dishes, the sausage is consumed warm. Due to its strong garlic seasoning, the sausage can leave an intense garlic taste

Pregnant women are advised not to eat raw Sucuk, as toxoplasma can be produced in the manufacturing process, which could harm the unborn child. However, if the sausage is sufficiently heated, for example by frying, consuming it no longer poses a risk. If prepared properly, the sausage even offers health benefits to pregnant women due to its high vitamin B content.

Recipes with Sucuk sausage

Whether for breakfast, on the grill, as a snack, or as a hearty dinner - Sucuk can be integrated into your meals in many ways. For example, the sausage can be sliced and placed on a piece of bread, used as a filling for pastry pockets, or prepared as a main course together with vegetables. Sucuk is also a true delicacy when cooked in a pan with eggs, on toast, or in a clay pot with tomato sauce. Another popular way of preparing Sucuk is the hearty Menemen dish for breakfast
