Sujuk (Turkish Garlic Sausage)

This is one heck of a Garlicky sausage, but oh so divine.  I cheated by using ready minced meat, the nice fatty one to give a good level of moisture to the finished product.  A perfect side to a Turkish Breakfast.

1 kg Mince
2 tbsp Cumin
1 tbsp Cinamon
1/2 tbsp Cloves
1/2 tbsp Nutmeg
1 tbsp Paprika
1/2 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 1/2 tbsp Salt
1/4 cup Minced Garlic

- Mix all the ingredients until the meat becomes sticky and homogeneous.  Let the mixture rest in the fridge over night.

- Stuff into hog casings and record the weight of the finished sausage.  Let them hang in a cool ventilated area (or a biltong maker for those that have one) for 3 - 5 days, slightly flattening them on day 2.

- Once the sausages have lost about 30% moisture they are ready for use.  These sausages should not become bone dry as they should be sliced at an angle and fried before consumption.
