How to make a black pudding scramble?
Do you have leftover black pudding in your fridge and don't know how to use it? We have a perfect idea to help you make the most of it!
Black pudding scrambled eggs are a classic of Spanish cuisine, although it's perhaps a little-known dish outside of Spain. It's a perfect way to use up those leftover black puddings that sometimes end up in our fridge and that we don't know what to do with.
The great thing about this dish is that it's easy and quick to prepare. It also has a special touch thanks to black pudding, a sausage made from pork blood and other ingredients like rice, onion, and spices.
If you've never tried black pudding scrambled eggs, this is the perfect time to try it out. We'll explain how to make it in a few simple steps.
What is blood sausage?
Ingredients and preparation
Now that we're all familiar with blood sausage, let's move on to making the blood sausage scramble.
To make a delicious blood sausage scramble, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 onion blood sausages (you can choose other varieties, but onion blood sausages are the most delicious for this recipe)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium onion (optional, but it adds a touch of flavor)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, to garnish and add freshness to the dish)
If you want to make a variation of the recipe, you can also add peppers or even some aromatic herbs like thyme or rosemary to give it a different twist.
How to cook a scrambled egg with black pudding
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
The first thing you should do is carefully remove the skin from the blood sausage. Then, cut the blood sausage into slices or small pieces, depending on the texture you prefer in your scrambled eggs. If you've chosen to add onion, peel it and cut it into julienne strips or small pieces to make it easier to incorporate.
Step 2: Sauté the Onion
In a large skillet, heat the two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion (if you've chosen to include it) and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until well browned and caramelized.
Step 3: Cook the Blood Sausage
Once the onion is cooked, add the blood sausage pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow it to brown slightly and release its flavor. The blood sausage breaks down easily when heated, which contributes to the scrambled eggs' juicy and flavorful texture.
Step 4: Beat the Eggs
While the blood sausage is cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork or hand whisk. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. The salt can be adjusted depending on the saltiness of the blood sausage, as this ingredient already has a strong flavor.
Step 5: Add the Eggs to the Pan
When the blood sausage is ready and well mixed with the onion, pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. Ideally, the eggs should cook slowly so the mixture doesn't dry out, resulting in a creamy and moist scrambled egg.
Step 6: Serve
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnishing with some chopped fresh parsley if desired.
