Rios Morcilla de Burgos Reviews

4.9 Rating 280 Reviews

Morcilla de Burgos is a very popular Spanish black pudding that is used either as a tapas dish in its own right or as an ingredient in other meals. Produced in Burgos in northern Spain, the process of adding rice was originally done to bulk out the sausage, but the unique flavour became very popular and adds a very unique twist and has become a signature dish. Morcilla de Burgos goes very well with other flavours such as roasted apples, or piquillo peppers. However it is versatile enough for an experimental chef to use it with a range of dishes, from pasta to poultry, game to garnish. It is isn't uncommon for people to be hesitant when trying black pudding for the first time, however Morcilla De Burgos is one of best in the world, try it once, you will be coming back for more! 350g Vac Pack Sausage / Once opened store in the refrigerator and defrost when ready to consume.

“This morcilla is rich and delicious with lots of rice in it but not so much that it falls apart. We are it on baguette with some Romesco sauce underneath, the fried morcilla and topped with a fried quails egg with a sprinkle of paprika. Buen provecho!”

“My favourite Spanish black pudding, Morcilla de Burgos is made with rice so when fried the surface takes on a wonderful crunchy texture. Exceptional topped with a scallop and some thinly sliced red piquillo peppers. When in Madrid we also had this Morcilla cooked, broken up into crispy crumbs and added to fried potatoes. Boom, a massive savoury flavour punch as well as extra crunch. I love this stuff”

“A welcome change to the sometimes fatty black pudding offered in the UK. The inclusion of rice gives it a different texture and flavour. It will however fall apart if overlooked. I have no hesitation in recommending it, although I have more dishes to try it with, but I am sure it will prove to be a fridge regular.”

“Tasty as part of a fried breakfast. Will try it in paella next time. Also, the delivery was fast and well packaged with mini sealed ice strips to keep the food fresh. I bought this as part of a selection of meats and cheeses for my husbands birthday and he absolutely loved it. We would both highly recommend Basco for their excellent service.”

“Cut it in to thick slices and added to a stew. I did read somewhere that it will disintegrate into the stew and add a lovely flavour which it did so be aware that if you don't want it to disintegrate, cook for less time. Slice some as well and had with fried egg. Awesome. Again fry slow and don't fiddle with it like I do as it is very soft. Lovely flavour and will be buying again.”
