Baby peppers stuffed with black and white pudding
by Oregano @ 2006-12-27 - 12:11:26

A few years ago when on holiday in Spain I picked up a book of tapa recipes. Some involve a bit of work but some are incredibly simple. One idea I liked was to stuff small peppers with morcilla (Spanish black pudding) and to bake in the oven. It tried with with Scots black pudding and it worked out well. We also like white pudding so I tried using both yesterday.

Ingredients

10 baby peppers
1 small black pudding
1 small white pudding

Method

1. Preheat the oven to about 180 Celsius
2. Cut off the tops of the pepper and remove the seeds from inside.
3. Stuff half of the peppers with black pudding
4. Stuff the other half of the peppers with white pudding
5. Put on a baking tray and bake for up to 20 minutes.
6. Serve with a spicy ketchup.

I am aware of black pudding in Canada but had never heard of white pudding. What is this, if I may ask?

Of course you may ask... It is basically black pudding without the pig's blood; I think the main ingredients are oatmeal, a little pork fat and herbs (sage is the key taste) in a sausage skin. White pudding is traditional in the East of Scotland and Ireland, but little heard of in England or the West of Scotland. Black pudding is well known anywhere in Britain and Ireland.

Usually it is sliced and fried with bacon, sausage, etc as part of a heavy cooked breakfast. In the East of Scotland, fish and chip shops offer it deep fried in batter; black pudding is offered the same way.

In the UK more and more chefs are introducing a little black pudding to starters and salads. I have not yet seen white pudding used in that way.

Why thank you. I have never seen it in Canada, that's not to say it isn't here. I tried it once but never developed a taste for it...might be like it stuffed in pepper though...

Things like black pudding are very much a case of taste. My late mother and (now vegetarian) sisters were revolted by the idea of eating something with pig's blood. Two of my boys, like me, like the taste while the other hates it.

it is not the pig's blood that turns me off...it is the strong taste...could only eat a wee nibble of it...but if it is offset by a subtle flavor like peppers, I might like it...
