Traditional Black Pudding Recipe
🧂 Ingredients:
1 liter (about 4 cups) fresh pig’s blood (or rehydrated dried blood powder)
250 g pork fat or suet, finely diced
200 g oatmeal (medium or coarse)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground allspice (optional)
½ tsp thyme (optional)
Sausage casings (natural hog casings are traditional)
🔥 Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients
Finely chop the pork fat and onion.
Soak the oatmeal in warm water or milk for 10–15 minutes to soften.
Cook the onion and fat
In a pan, gently fry the onion and pork fat until soft and translucent (do not brown).
Let it cool slightly.
Mix the pudding batter
In a large bowl, combine the blood, soaked oatmeal, onion, and fat.
Add salt, pepper, and spices. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
The mixture should be thick but pourable — like a heavy batter.
Fill the casings
Rinse the sausage casings well.
