Jonty Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 I dropped my wife off at the stables this morning, this meant I had sufficient time to try and make black pudding for the first time, and clean the kitched of any evidence if it all went pear shaped 😀. Fortunately, it went pretty well, I nicked a recipe (ish) from Scott Rea (youtube) and everything was nice and straightforward. I stuffed a load into a beef casing and put the rest in a loaf tin. I have to say, I'm really pleased with the results for a first attempt. I'd tweak the spices a little next time, but all in all it's really good.

amateur Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 I'd say that you have the fat to blood ratio about right (or at least to my taste), but as ditchie writes above, flavour is everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tasted really good thanks 👍 I was a bit suspicious of the recipe having coriander in it but it works really well. I’m in Scotland stalking this week and will definitely be taking a load of this up to share with the lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It darkened up when I cooked some. The rest has been vac packed in either whole or half links or in slices from the loaf. It’s all sat in the fridge now and will stay ther for a day or so. If I’m honest, I’m not really sure as I’ve never made it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Amateur- I’ll make a note to serve you with slices from near the end….. as I sliced the link version, gravity has obviously put more fat at the bottom, it does thin out further up the casing.
