Preparation

  1. 1.

    To serve, place a slice of black pudding on each plate. Top with caramelized apples and drizzle with the whisky sauce.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Stornoway Black Pudding — Ensure the black pudding is cooked until crispy on the outside while still maintaining a moist interior. Be careful not to overcook it, as it may become dry.
  • Whisky — Choose a good quality whisky that complements the flavors of the dish. The whisky should add depth and richness to the sauce without overpowering the other ingredients.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the whisky sauce.
  • Serve the black pudding with a side of buttered toast or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • If you prefer a sweeter sauce, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the whisky sauce.

Serving advice

Serve the Stornoway Black Pudding with Caramelized Apples and Whisky Sauce as a main course for breakfast or brunch. Accompany it with a side of toast or crusty bread to complete the meal.

Presentation advice

Arrange the black pudding slices on a plate, placing the caramelized apples on top. Drizzle the whisky sauce over the dish, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, for an elegant touch.
