Fried sausages

It is customary to call kupatami a dish of Georgian cuisine, which is raw sausages made of pure pork. In general, for the preparation of this dish, pork guts are needed, in which minced meat is essentially placed. Today, merchants in stores can be bought without problems, but the home option in any case turns out to be more tasty and high-quality.

Composition of cupat

As a rule, the composition of cupata in addition to fatty pork (although it can be quite lean pork and speck) includes components such as onions and spices, which in the classic version are represented by black pepper, cumin, pomegranate grains, cloves, cinnamon, suneli hops, garlic and cilantro greens. The meat and onions are passed through a meat grinder and spices are added to the mince. Pre-prepared guts are started with spicy mince, and their ends are bandaged. At the last stage, sausages are formed in the form of a crescent moon and cupates are ready for further heat treatment.

If the cupates are chilled, then they must be stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator, but not longer than 2 days. When stored in cling film or plastic bag, the cupcakes will suffocate, becoming slippery, so it is best to wrap the sausages in a cloth napkin or paper (baking parchment). When handling frozen cupates, the product should be removed from the freezer in advance and left in the refrigerator. A couple of hours before cooking, the cupata is advised to hold at room temperature.

It is worth noting that most often cupates are prepared on a spit or shampuras, frying them over an open fire. These greasy sausages are fried quite quickly - no more than 25 minutes. You can certainly fry the cupata in a frying pan, but for an attractive golden crust, it is recommended to coat them with tomato sauce or ketchup before frying them.

Kupats are eaten hot, and as an addition to them they serve all kinds of greens, onions in rings and Georgian tkemali sauce. Since the bathing includes fatty meat, an excellent side dish for the finished dish is a fresh vegetable salad, bread and various pickles.

By the way, in order to be sure that the cupates do not burst during frying, they are often previously lowered into boiling water for a couple of minutes, and then rinsed with a towel. During the frying process, they are often turned over for a better yield of excess juice and steam.
