Sucuk Butter is a bold, savory spread that combines the smoky spice of sucuk with creamy butter, tomato and pepper pastes, and a bright touch of lemon and parsley.

Method

Prep the sucuk

Peel away and discard the casing from the sucuk. Cut the sausage into rough chunks small enough for your processor to handle easily, about bite-size pieces, so it blends evenly without overworking the mixture.

Chop the herbs

Finely chop the stems and leaves of the parsley, keeping the pieces small so they disappear nicely into the butter. Finely grate the lemon zest, taking only the yellow outer layer and avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.

Blend the butter

Add the sucuk pieces to a small food processor or mixer. Spoon in the softened butter, tomato paste, paprika paste, pul biber, and paprika powder. Add the chopped parsley and lemon zest, then process until the mixture is fully combined, smooth, and spreadable, scraping down the sides once or twice if needed.

Taste and adjust

Open the processor and taste a small amount. Blend again briefly if you want an even smoother finish, or adjust the balance to your liking with a little more pul biber for heat or lemon zest for brightness. The finished sucuk butter should look evenly colored and creamy, with no large chunks left.

Serve or chill

Transfer the sucuk butter to a serving dish or storage container and smooth the top with a spoon. Serve it straight away spread on toast, or refrigerate until needed. If chilled, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving so it softens and spreads easily.
