Kupati is a spicy pork-and-beef sausage from western Georgia, seasoned with onion, cinnamon and barberries. It's grilled or pan-fried and served with tkemali sauce.
Knead the meats thoroughly with the fatback, onion, garlic, spices and pomegranate juice; cover and rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Rinse the soaked casing thoroughly and loosely fill it using a sausage stuffer or funnel, twisting off links every 15-18 cm. Prick the sausages a few times with a needle.
Pre-cook the sausages in gently simmering (not boiling) salted water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Fry in a little oil over medium heat, turning, for 10-12 minutes until browned on all sides (can also be grilled).
Serve with red onion, tkemali sauce and bread.

Tips
You can make it without casings too: shape the mixture into long logs and pan-fry.
