About Sujuk

Sujuk is a dry, fermented sausage that originates from Middle Eastern, Balkan, and Central Asian cuisines, particularly prevalent in Turkey. Traditionally made from ground beef or lamb, sujuk is seasoned with a mix of spices like cumin, garlic, sumac, and paprika, which give it a distinctive flavor profile. Packed with protein and iron, sujuk can be a satisfying addition to various dishes, such as breakfast hash or stews. However, it is also high in saturated fats and salt due to its curing process, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Its rich blend of spices provides antioxidant properties, while its fermentation process contributes to a longer shelf life, making it a popular choice in many households. Sujuk is often enjoyed cooked, which enhances its robust flavors and texture while allowing some of the fat content to render out during preparation.
