Right, I didn't think to take any pics until I had started to serve up...So bugger ye!

Ingredients:

Eight homemade Tamworth, ale and Braeburn sausages.
Six slices of fat homemade black pudding
A few mushrooms
One red onion
Two cloves of garlic
Two tins of chopped tomatoes
A pinch of dried mixed herbs
A pinch of dried chilli flakes
Beef stock cube
Salt and pepper.

Method:

Fry sausages until the outside is cooked enough to hold together, cut into quarters and put to one side.

In your pot, heat up some olive oil and add a little bit of butter for flavour.

Fry off the diced onion until soft, after a minute or so, add two chopped-up cloves of garlic.

When garlic and onions have softened, add one tin of tomatoes, crumble in the stock cube and simmer for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in the sausage pieces and the mushrooms cut into quarters.

Layer the black pudding on top of the mixture, season and pour the second tin of tomatoes on top.

Bang it in the oven for about an hour and a half at about 160-180.

Remove, serve, enjoy.

I can also confirm that left overs are delicious the next morning warmed through and served on crusty granary bread with a little cheddar on top. NOM.

If I were making it again, I'd fry the black pudding on the 'top' side to give it a little crispiness...And put a handful of nice fatty bacon lardons in before the tomatoes.

like i said no one carse how the food looks, but the thread is a poor example of how to create a cooking with thread

I'm sorry, you seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares.

If you need any more info than that in the OP to recreate the dish then you probably have difficulty walking and talking at the same time or remembering to wipe and flush after going to the toilet.

One question though don't you cook the black pudding at all and do you actualy make the BP yourself?

A friend makes it - same guy who made the sausages.

It cooks pretty well in the pot...A little soft though that's why if I were to do it again, I'd fry it on one side until crispy then place it in the pot.

All in, that meal would serve four and cost 20p for some mushrooms and about 50p for a couple of tins of tomatoes. Everything else was either a gift/trade or in the house already.

your actions deem otherwise. If you didnt care would not

a) would not have posted this thread
I was asking if you thought I cared for your assessment of my methods of presentation.
b) got so defensive.
In response to aggression ;)
c) resorted to personal insults.

Did it insult you personally? If it did, have you just admitted that you forget to wipe and flush? Dirty bugger...

Depends on the type of black pudding, in England they put loads of fat in it, the stuff I had in Aberdeen was just pure blood and didn't ooze when you cooked it.

KaHn

Good black pudding should always have small cubes of pigs fat in order to bind it and keep it succulent while cooking.

Best recipe:

Blood
Herbs
Seasoning
Oatmeal
Pig Fat

Never been an expert on black pudding, try to eat it sparingly due to the whole not wanting to keel over and die part haha.

There is a restraunt in Aberdeen tho called Musa (www.musaartcafe.com) which does a very nice steak.

From the website

"Fillet of Aberdeen Angus beef with black pudding
Dauphinoise with apple & espresso sauce"

KaHn

I only get to eat it when my gf's away otherwise I get guilt trips because it has gluten in it so she can't have it...

I love it fried crispy on the outside, soft in the middle and served with creamy mash and baked beans. Nom.

what aggression? i simply stated you thread was not appealing.
If it doesn't appeal to you, why are you still here?

the food does look like something which kid wold produce in HE.
Oh no, the nasty man on the internet thinks my food doesn't look pretty. However will I cope?!

the whole base of the recipie is 2 tins of tomatoes some mushroomes and a stock cube.

what a perfect way to ruin some nice black pubbing and sausages, by covering them in overly sweet tinned tomatoes.

I don't know where the hell you buy your food but the tins say 'Ingredients: Tomatoes (100%)' and don't taste 'sweet' other than their natural fruitiness...

The meal tasted great last night, it tasted great as described above this morning and I have a feeling that it will taste great tonight when I fry off the remains with some cubed bacon and serve it with potatoes.

Hot pot:

Om nom ****ing nom.

Best thing I've cooked in ****ing ages!

Absolute bargain too...Served six people a massive portion and cost about eight quid.

Ingredients:

Lamb neck
Kidneys
Black pudding
Potatoes
Leeks
Onions
Carrots
Bay leaf
Thyme
Beef stock
Stuff I've forgotten
Seasoning.

(Yo, check the) Method:

Slice your veg. Tatos about 2cm thick, carrots about 1cm thick, onions into 1/2cm rings and leeks lengthways then into 1" lengths.

Get a cast iron pan VERY hot.

Roll your lamb and kidneys in flour, shake off any excess and brown them in a bit of butter. Lamb first, then kidneys. Put each to one side when browned.

Throw the onions in the pan, add the leeks when they soften and the carrots and thyme a minute or two later. After another minute, add the meat back in, shake the pan to mix and take it off the heat.

Butter a casserole dish, put a layer of potatoes in the bottom, season, add a layer of the meat/veg mix and a layer of black pudding. Then more tatos, seasoning, meat/veg, a bay leaf, black pud and finally cover the top in a full layer of potatoes, season and dot with butter.

Take the pan you just emptied, get it hot again, add a pint of boiled water, half a glass of red wine and a couple of beef stock cubes, and whisk it up to dissolve the stock cubes and deglaze all the yummy bits off the pan. Then pour it into the casserole dish.

Put the lid on the dish and put it in a hot oven for 90 minutes, remove the lid for 30 minutes then serve and devour.

Enjoy.
