About

Spanish morcilla - black pudding - is the first sausage to be made from the freshly killed pig and is very popular throughout Spain. It is flavoured with spices and herbs, usually including garlic and oregano, and has a wonderfully rich, spicy taste.

Ingredients

15 ml/1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
2<

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the sliced onion, garlic, oregano and paprika for 7–8 minutes until the onion is softened and has turned golden brown.
Add the slices of black pudding, then increase the heat and cook them for 3 minutes, without stirring. Turn them over carefully with a spatula and cook for a further 3 minutes until crisp.
