Portuguese Blood Sausage








I wanted to share my recent cooking adventure with you. This Portuguese blood sausage was clearing at the supermarket and it's something I've wanted to try. After some googling, I discovered it was pre-cooked and just needed warming up in a pan. I cut the sausage into roughly half inch slices, removed the skin and pan fried with onions for about 3-4 minutes on each side. It tasted like a smoked pate and was pretty good with crackers. You can see the list of ingredients in one of the photos above.  It's a good dish if you need more iron.

  11. Glad you enjoyed it.
    Liver is also a great source of iron, we love liver and onion casseroles ... perfect for cooler winter months.

    All the best Jan
