Ingredients
Sucuk consists of ground meat (usually beef but pork or lamb are used in some recipes and horse meat in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan), with various spices including fenugreek, cumin, sumac, 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.
