作法
- 馬肉連帶肋骨切成長條。徹底抹上鹽、胡椒、孜然、芫荽、葛縷子粉與蒜末。
- 灌香腸：馬腸衣套上寬漏斗，將調味好的肉條與脂肪一起塞入。每 30 至 40 公分綁成一段。
- 用針在腸衣上戳幾個小洞，讓空氣於風乾時排出。
- Kazy 掛在陰涼乾燥通風處 14 至 21 天。哈薩克傳統會掛在蒙古包內或屋簷下；現代家用熟成需要通風良好的冰箱。香腸會變深、紮實，發出深邃的肉香。
- 上桌時：將熟成的 Kazy 放入加鹽水中文火煮 60 分鐘—肉會軟化、腸衣變嫩。略放涼。
- Kazy 橫切成 1 公分厚圓片，露出肉與脂肪交錯的剖面。可作為宴席菜、Beshbarmak 上的配料，或與麵包及乳酪一同作為前菜拼盤。

文化背景
Kazy 是哈薩克的馬肉醃製傳統—哈薩克游牧牧民身分的核心。馬肉是哈薩克最珍貴的肉品；馬被同時視為勞役與食物來源。Kazy 是節慶料理：婚禮、秋季宰牲（Sogym）以及迎接重要賓客時食用。醃製水煮的技法能讓肉品熬過冬天，並產生獨特濃縮的風味。海外哈薩克社群延續這個傳統；阿拉木圖市集的哈薩克肉販也販售商業化 Kazy。
