Sucuk in tomato sauce is a Turkish-style dish of spiced, cured beef sausage simmered with tomatoes. It is commonly served hot with bread, and some versions add eggs, peppers, or other seasonings.
How do you make sucuk in tomato sauce?
Slice the sucuk and briefly cook it in a pan so its spices and fat are released. Add chopped or grated tomatoes, then simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens. Taste before adding salt, since sucuk is already salty.
What do you serve with sucuk in tomato sauce?
Serve sucuk in tomato sauce with crusty bread, flatbread, or pide to scoop up the sauce. For a fuller meal, pair it with a simple salad or yogurt; mild sides balance the sausage’s strong seasoning.
Can you add eggs to sucuk in tomato sauce?
Yes, eggs are a popular addition to sucuk in tomato sauce. Once the tomato sauce has thickened, make wells in it, crack in the eggs, cover the pan, and cook until the whites are set. Add them near the end to avoid overcooking.
Do you need to remove the casing from sucuk in tomato sauce?
Usually, remove sucuk’s casing if it is thick, tough, or not clearly marked as edible. Peel it before slicing, then cook the sausage with the tomatoes. Thin edible casings can be left on if the package confirms they are suitable to eat.

What is Sucuk in tomato sauce?
Sucuk in tomato sauce is a simple pan-cooked dish made with sucuk, Turkey’s spiced, air-dried sausage, simmered with tomatoes. Sucuk is often seasoned with garlic and warm spices, and the tomato sauce softens its savoury intensity.
In Turkey, it is a familiar hot breakfast, sometimes cooked with eggs and served with bread for dipping; it also makes a quick meal at other times of day. The dish is filling and provides protein, but sucuk makes it high in fat and sodium. For a lighter serving, use less sausage, add more tomato, and pair it with a fresh salad.
