Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g black pudding cut into 1.5cm thick slices
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cut black pudding into thick slices, removing outer skin if synthetic.
  2. Heat oil in a heavy pan until hot.
  3. Cook slices 3–4 minutes without moving, until crisp.
  4. Turn carefully with a fish slice, cook 3 minutes more.
  5. Season with pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

Slice at least 1.5cm thick to stop the pudding crumbling in the pan.
Leave undisturbed for the first few minutes to let a crust form.
Uncooked black pudding freezes well for up to 3 months.
Serve immediately, as the crisp exterior softens quickly off the heat.
