Pan Fry
Frying is the most popular way to cook black pudding. It gives a crispy outside while staying soft in the middle.
To pan-fry black pudding:
- Remove all packaging from the product
- Slice into 2 cm rounds
- Heat a frying pan to medium heat. You can add a little oil or butter, but it’s not necessary.
- Fry the slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are crispy and hot throughout.
Air fry
Black pudding can be cooked in the air fryer. Just follow these steps:
- Remove all packaging from the product
- Slice into 2 cm rounds
- Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket
- Set the air fryer to 180°C and cook for 6-10 minutes, turning occasionally until crisp and golden.
Grill
Cooking black pudding under the grill is another great option, especially if you’re roasting/grilling other Clonakilty products alongside it. Here’s how:
- Preheat your Grill to 180°C-200°C
- Remove all the packaging and slice into 2 cm rounds
- Place the slices under the grill for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through, and cook until crisp and golden.
