- How do you make mi-shuzhuk?
- I came across this recipe from the East — Kazakh cooking, to be exact — completely by chance, and decided to give it a try. Everyone in my family loves a good meat dish, so the mi-shuzhuk was a huge hit. I'm a fan of Eastern recipes built around meat in general, so let's make mi-shuzhuk together today. Take lamb brains, cover them with cold water, and soak for two hours. Then peel off the outer membrane and remove any blood spots. Next, take the lamb (if you don't have lamb, beef works too), cut it into small pieces, and run it through a meat grinder. Chop the onion. Pick over and rinse the rice. Combine the ground meat with the brains, chopped onion, and rice, and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Add a little water to bring it to a porridge-like consistency. Use this filling to stuff the casings — they should be well rinsed, soaked in salted water, and turned inside out, with the ends tied off securely. It's best to chill the stuffed sausages in the fridge for a few hours. Then cook the mi-shuzhuk: place the sausage in a pot of cold water and set it on the stove. Once it boils, skim off the foam with a slotted spoon, prick the casings in a few spots with a needle, and simmer covered over low heat until done. Remove the sausage from the pot and serve it hot or cold.
- Enjoy!
- For this recipe it's better to use fresh meat rather than frozen, or the finished dish can turn out dry.
- To keep your eyes from stinging while you slice onions, rinse the onion and the knife in cold water. And your cutting board won't hold on to the onion smell if you rub it with a slice of lemon before chopping.
