Blood Pudding Newfoundland Recipes

BLOOD PUDDING

Steps:

• Put the livers to boil with the onions . When ready, remove and chop finely. Chop the bacon and lean pork finely. Boil the rice to a semi-cooked state.
• Salt all of these ingredients and sprinkle them with coarsely ground black pepper. Fill the intestines with the mixture. Tie off the ends of the blood sausages, pierce with a needle and put them to boil in the same water in which you boiled the livers.
• Put a plate on the top that presses down and flushes the sausages with the broth. Once the blood sausages soften, remove them and drain of the broth and oil. Once cool, store them in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator.
• Serve with red wine and a coarse bean salad .

BLACK PUDDING

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease 2 glass loaf pans. (If you don't have glass loaf pans, line metal loaf pans with parchment to keep the blood sausage from reacting with the metal and creating an off-flavor.) Stir 1 teaspoon of salt into the blood.
• 2 Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil and stir in the oats. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until just tender, not mushy.
• 3 Pour the blood through a fine sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps. Stir in the fat, onion, milk, pepper, allspice and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the oatmeal and mix to combine. Divide the mixture between the loaf pans, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour, until firm. Cool completely. Seal in plastic wrap and wither freeze for extended use or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• 4 To serve, cut a slice about 1/2-inch thick off the loaf. Fry in butter or oil until the edges are slightly crisped and browned.

NEWFOUNDLAND BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• - Mix all ingredients together with enough warm water to form a ball that holds everything together. Put in a pudding bag or pudding tin with lid and boil for 30 minutes with the jigg's dinner or on its own. If you are going to boil/steam your pudding on its own fill the boiler up 1/4 of the way with water, then put a foil bowl or rack in the bottom of boiler to place your pudding bag or pudding tin on. If you are using the liquor/ broth from the jiggs dinner for gravy it must be taken out before the bread pudding goes in, as it will give a sweet taste to the gravy. Put it in the boiler the same time as your potatoes as they cook about the same. If you use the pudding bag remove from the boiler and from the bag so it don't become to soggy. Cut in slices and serve with meal. This Newfoundland Bread Pudding is like stuffing but the shape of a pudding, smells and tastes amazing and can be served with Jiggs Dinner, with or without gravy.
