How to make homemade sujuk with spices

You cut the pork into large cubes and put it in a large colander in a cool room to drain for 24 hours. Then you grind the meat and add the spices listed above, mixing well. Store the flavored meat in the refrigerator, again for 24 hours, periodically stirring it to flavor it evenly.

Fill the intestines with a length of 25 cm, tying the ends well with cotton string (you need to make “ears”) so that you can hang it on them afterwards. You hang the finished sujuks on a rod and leave them warm (room temperature) until they are “red” or for about 12 to 15 hours.

You move the suzuks to a suitable room with a temperature of about 12 degrees and 75% humidity. Sujuks are dried until their weight is reduced by 45%. They are rolled every day or every other day. Homemade sujuk, you can dry in a specially adapted sausage dryer (see the photo above and below), and the result is a unique appetizer in a short time, according to a tried and tested method by the person who provided us with the recipe and photos.

Of course, if you do not have such a drying device, it will be more difficult for you, but by no means impossible. You just need to take the suzuks outside when it’s cold to dry, avoid fogs and put them away regularly in the evening. If the weather is warm, it is advisable to store them in a cool and airy place.

Only time will tell when your homemade sujuk is ready to eat.
