Sucuk is the iconic spiced, dry-cured sausage of Turkish cuisine, and pastirma is its richly seasoned cured-beef cousin. Together they form the heart of a proper Turkish breakfast and add deep, savoury character to countless dishes. At Turkish Online Market, the UK's Turkish online food and grocery market, we stock authentic sucuk and pastirma so you can enjoy these classics wherever you are in the country.
What Makes Sucuk Special
Sucuk is made from seasoned minced beef packed with garlic, cumin, sumac, red pepper and other warming spices, then cured to develop its signature firm texture and intense aroma. When sliced and fried until the edges crisp and the fat turns glossy, it fills the kitchen with an unmistakable scent. It is most famous in sucuklu yumurta, where it is cooked with eggs for a hearty start to the day, but it is just as good in toasted sandwiches, on pizza-style flatbreads, or alongside grilled vegetables.
Pastirma: The Cured Classic
Pastirma is air-dried, cured beef coated in çemen, a thick paste of fenugreek, garlic and paprika that forms a deeply flavoured crust. Cut into thin slices, it is served as part of a breakfast spread, layered into sandwiches, or used to lift bean dishes and pilafs. A little goes a long way, and its concentrated flavour makes it a favourite among those who love bold, traditional tastes.
Our Range at Turkish Online Market
Within our wider selection of over 2000 authentic products, you will find:
- Whole and sliced sucuk in mild and spicy styles.
- Pastirma with its classic çemen crust.
- Sausages and cured meats to complete your breakfast or barbecue table.
- Complementary breakfast staples such as cheeses, olives and preserves.
How to Cook and Serve
For sucuk, slice it into thin rounds and fry gently in a dry pan over medium heat, letting its own fat render out before adding eggs if you wish. Avoid high heat, which can make it tough. Pastirma is usually enjoyed without cooking, sliced thin and served at room temperature, though it can also be warmed briefly to release its aroma. Both keep best chilled and tightly wrapped once opened.
