Ingredients for 4 servings
servings
4 artisanal black puddings
4 to 5 peeled grey shallots
4 medium new potatoes from Ré or Noirmoutier, peeled or not, halved lengthwise
salted butter and a hint of walnut oil
1 splash of white Pineau des Charentes
a few sprigs of rosemary
Step-by-step directions
1 With a fine needle, prick your black puddings in several places.
2 In a sauté pan, heat your butter with a hint of walnut oil, then place your black puddings over medium-low heat.
3 Around them, arrange your shallots and apple halves, salt and pepper, and roast gently for 15 minutes. Then turn your black puddings and apples over, cook for another 5 minutes, then sprinkle rosemary over the apples, turn off the heat and cover for 5 minutes.
4 Then plate on large hot plates. Put your sauté pan back on the heat and deglaze with your Pineau, pouring it hot over your black puddings. As always, the quality of the artisan producer should be highlighted, and for this the Vendeans and Charentais are indeed fortunate. The products from Moulineau are incomparable since everything you can imagine prepared with pork is made "at home" with especially an exceptional black pudding. Moreover, enthusiasts have not been mistaken for years on the market of La Pallice (La Rochelle) on Sunday mornings in front of his gourmet truck the line is sometimes impressive. Meanwhile, for me, my favorite charcuterie which thus enhances the quality of my recipes. Moulineau Charcuterie located in La Roche sur Yon and its stalls set up during the week on the major markets around.
A chef's advice
Black pudding is a Sunday dish, the kind where you take your time. In Vendée and Charente, butchers like Moulineau still make it the old way, farm-raised pork, no synthetic additives. It eats best from September to April, when temperatures drop and potatoes from Ré and Noirmoutier arrive firm and waxy.
Forget light reds. White Pineau that you deglaze the pan with makes real sense here. A Côtes de Blavet white or Haut-Poitou blanc sec works well. The sweet Pineau stays in the background; better to stay dry with the cooking.
It's a dish you cook on weekdays or for family meals. Apple softens the boudin, grey shallots bring slight bitterness. Rosemary draws out the butter's depth. That's all. Skip unnecessary sides. Just a hot plate, maybe a bowl of strong mustard on the side if you want it.
Frequently asked questions
Why prick the sausages before cooking?
To prevent them from bursting and emptying as they heat. A fine needle lets steam escape without the filling leaking out. Skip this step and you'll find them burst open in the pan.
Can you store cooked black pudding and reheat it?
Yes, maximum three days refrigerated. Reheat 5 to 7 minutes in a covered 160°C oven, never in a pan (bursting risk). Better eaten fresh.
Walnut oil is hard to find, what's a substitute?
A splash of peanut oil balances butter without overpowering. Olive would be too strong. Walnut oil brings slight bitterness that pairs with boudin, it's ideal if you find it.
