To Aleppo With Love – Sujuq
November 30th, 2017
Sujuq is a type of dry, spiced sausage that is somewhat similar to salami, with its three main characteristics being that it is salty, dry and has a high fat content. It consists of ground meat combined with various spices before being piped into a sausage casing. Sheep intestine has historically been the casing of choice, though nowadays both natural and artificial sausage casings are used. Sujuq is dried for at least three weeks before it is considered ready to consume. Also traditionally Sujuq is stuffed into clean, porous stockings and hanged for 3 to 5 days in a cool, dry place away from any sunlight.
I made sujuq without following the traditional methods and without drying because the weather in gulf is not suitable for air-dry, although I did not follow the traditional method but it has the same flavor of sujuq that I used to eat in Aleppo. In the post, I will show you different methods of using Sujuq.
