🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe
Kovbasa
Kovbasa is the Ukrainian homemade garlic sausage that no Easter basket or holiday gathering is complete without. Made from coarsely ground pork seasoned generously with garlic, black pepper, and marjoram, the sausage is stuffed into natural casings and then roasted, smoked, or grilled. The result is a juicy, intensely flavorful sausage with a satisfying snap to its casing and an aroma that is unmistakably Ukrainian.
