This plant-based take on Turkish sucuk gets its color from beetroot and its flavor from sucuk spice and plenty of garlic. It is spicy and well seasoned, making it a good breakfast option for vegans and vegetarians. It keeps in the freezer, so you can make one roll and slice off what you need.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180 °C.

  2. Put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend to a smooth paste.

  3. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag.

  4. Pipe it onto parchment paper in a long sausage shape.

  5. Roll the paper tightly around the mixture and twist the ends closed.

  6. Bake the roll at 180 °C for 20 minutes.

  7. Let it cool to room temperature, then move it to the freezer.

  8. Slice the frozen sucuk and cook the slices on both sides in a pan before serving.

Tips

  • If you cannot find ready-made sucuk spice, mix your own; if the blend already has garlic, a little garlic powder can replace the fresh cloves.
  • Do not forget the oats, as they help the mixture hold its shape.
  • The sausage slices much more cleanly while it is still frozen.

FAQ

Does it really taste like sucuk?

It is spicy and full of flavor, but people who are very attached to real sucuk may not find it quite the same.

How do I store it?

Once baked and cooled, keep it in the freezer, then slice off as much as you need and pan-fry it.
