Makanek (Arabic: مَقَانِق or Arabic: مُقَانِق), also known as Nakanik (Arabic: نَقَانِق), is a type of Arabic sausage. It is made from a combination of spiced ground meat (traditionally lamb and beef) filled into a sheep casing.[1] The casing is then fried to create a crispy sausage. The dish can be spiced with pine nuts, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vinegar, and may be cooked with wine. Traditionally, Makanek is served with pomegranate molasses.[2] [3]
