Black Pudding recipe

ASnyone any ideas what I can do with a large Black pudding (Scottish one)?

I foolishly sliced some of it and froze the rest ( I live in England now).

Now I realise that I am not allowed to defrost then refreeze, so what can I do it would take a diamond cutter to slice it now!

I have about a foot of it and dont want to waste it so any ideas appreciated for example can I cook it off the refreeze?

    You can cook it and then freeze it. But, of course, you can't then defrost and freeze a second time - so make sure you put layers of something between slices or wrap them separately or in serving sized bunches.

    As black pudding is already a cooked product I'm not sure it would be wise to cook it further then re-freeze it if you plan to re-heat it again to eat :confused:

    You don't have to eat it just for breakfast though as it also goes very well with pork, lamb and fish dishes and fruits such as rhubarb, apple, plums etc. I have a recipe book somewhere called Black Pudding and Rhubarb and it has some yummy recipes in. Will see if I can dig it out later. I've added it to casseroles, stir-fried it with pork and apple and also made a spanish type sausage casserole using black pudding and chorizo. Will see if I can find the recipes for you later :)


    Edit: forgot to add that it will keep for a week or so in the fridge defrosted, assuming it was fresh when you froze it, so you don't have to eat it all in one go ;)

    Mashed Potato with Black Pudding mashed into it is really nice! Just cook the BP as usual and then mash it up with your potatoes/milk/butter... :)

    You can still fry it off though. Lots of people do that with their breakfast.

    But can't stand the stuff personally.

    I always fry it. That's why I never thought of it as pre-cooked.
