Ingredients

3 cups rice
2 ½ cups pork blood
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cilantro or recao
2 chili peppers chopped
2 garlic cloves a pilonazos
2 yds pork tripe intestines or sausage casings

Instructions

Start by preparing a pot of Puerto Rican-style white rice, but omit the oil.
3 cups rice
Incorporate the pork blood, salt, cilantro, chili peppers, and garlic into the rice.
2 ½ cups pork blood, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp cilantro or recao, 2 chili peppers, 2 garlic cloves
Mix everything together until well combined.
Carefully stuff the sausage casings by using a funnel, ensuring not to squeeze the stuffing or the casings too tightly. They should be a little loose and not taut.
2 yds pork tripe
Gently place the filled casings in boiling, salted water and let them cook for about 25-30 minutes.
After the cooking time, drain the water from the sausages.
Now, you can either fry the Morcilla or let it cool down and freeze it for later use.
When you're ready to indulge, cut the Morcilla into small pieces and fry in vegetable oil over moderate heat until they achieve a golden hue.
Drain the cooked Morcilla on paper towels and let it cool before you savor it.

Notes

Serve with green boiled bananas or tostones for an authentic Puerto Rican experience.
