Sujuk is a spicy meat mixture most commonly shaped into a big sausage and hung to dry. It is very popular in Turkey and Armenia and is very similar to the Iraqi basturma.
This recipe does not require weeks of drying, just an overnight stint in the refrigerator. For these delectable sujuk bites, the sujuk meat is combined and rests overnight in the fridge before being spread into a thin pita bread, rolled, and baked into quite possibly your new favourite appetizer. I used a rather fatty lamb mince, and I brushed the bread lightly with oil before spreading the meat.
