Introduction

This is a quick and easy tapas dish of crispy morcilla sausage, a traditional black pudding from Spain, made with rice and spices and served on a bed of roasted piquillo peppers, topped with fried quail eggs.

Method

In a medium size frying pan, gently warm the olive oil and add the garlic slices, cook gently for 1 minute or until lightly brown. Remove from the oil, add the piquillo peppers and slowly cook for five minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar, season with sea salt and return the garlic, cook for a further 10 minutes on a low heat and set aside.
To cook the morcilla, cut the sausage into 1 inch thick pieces and fry in a hot frying pan for 3 minutes on each side. Drain on some kitchen towel.
For the quail eggs, gently crack each egg using the edge of a knife. Drop each egg in a small ramekin or cup and gently slide it into the hot oil. Cook four eggs at a time until they firm up, 1 to 1.5 minutes. Larger eggs may take a little longer.
On a warm plate, spoon the warm piquillo peppers, place a piece of the morcilla sausage and top with a crispy fried quail egg before serving.
