Black pudding & white lightning / Petisco de morcela em aguardente

posted on March 6th, 2010 by Manny Lopes
"Black pudding sausage" or blood sausage and morcela, is an interesting tasty treat now and again. I'm complementing it with the Portuguese "aguardente" a white marc brandy. This is a "petisco" or tapa type to dish to enjoy by yourself or with some friends.. I'm using morcela de arroz, (blood sausage with rice) I de-skinned the morcela and sauteed them with mushrooms and peppers in a skilet with some spiced olive oil & finished them with a drizzle of white wine slice and toast some bread into very thin slices, place on a dish & drizzle some olive oil on them. Place the morcella, peppers & mushrooms over the bread & drizzle some aguardente over them with a teaspoon. Serve with some cold salted cucumber & olives, a short glass of agardente on the side or a Jeropiga.. bom apetite
