What it is
A rustic and flavorful Guatemalan dish featuring savory moronga (blood sausage) sliced and pan-fried until slightly crispy, then sautéed with a generous amount of sweet, tender caramelized white onions.
Key ingredients
Moronga (Guatemalan blood sausage), white onions, cooking oil/lard (for frying the moronga and sautéing onions), salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Ensure the moronga itself contains no high-carb fillers (confirm with staff if possible). Request no added flour for dredging the moronga before frying. Request minimal or no sugar if onions are heavily caramelized.
Watch out for
Flour used for dredging the moronga before frying. Excessive sugar added during the caramelization of onions. High-carb fillers in the sausage itself. Serving with rice or tortillas.
