This product is another of the many preparations with elements from the pig, an animal that, as we have said on other occasions, takes advantage of everything. Onion Black Pudding is another product with great diffusion throughout the Spanish geography although in each region it has its peculiarities and variations, especially as regards spices.

Onion Black Pudding has as basic and fundamental components the blood of pork and onion, to which others are added, mainly spices, such as garlic, pepper, cumin, etc. in different proportions according to the different recipes.

To prepare the Onion Black Pudding, the onion is finely chopped and fried in lard, mixed well with pork blood, both hot and then stuffed in the gut. This is usually always thin, compared to other blood sausages such as rice, for which guts of different thicknesses are used. Once stuffed, it is tied and scalded at 90º, keeping it at a temperature of between 75º and 85º for approximately half an hour, making sure that the interior is kept at least 75º.

This process is very important in the preparation of Onion Black Pudding to prevent it from fermenting or spoiling very quickly after its elaboration.

It can be consumed immediately after its preparation and is usually common practice in homemade slaughter, which a few years ago was still so common in rural areas.

The stuffing of the Onion Black Pudding is maintained with a soft or fluid consistency, so its consumption admits the spread on slices of bread or toast, in addition to the usual forms such as fried, grilled, etc.

Precisely because of this increasingly common consumption, spread on bread or toast and for the preparation of scrambled eggs, for some time it has also been presented in jars or jars instead of stuffed in gut, which allows better use for these presentations, without need to previously undo a prepared sausage.

Onion Black Pudding is also an exceptional complement for the preparation of some typical dishes, such as fabada, lentils, chickpeas and cooked, among others.

As I said, the Onion Black Pudding is a common product in most regions, but perhaps because of its quality, the black pudding of León stands out, where its long tradition and experience in its elaboration makes them obtain a superior quality.
