What it is
A distinctive Spanish blood sausage from Burgos, made with pork blood, onions, lard, and spices, with a small amount of rice. It is grilled until crispy on the outside and tender inside. The rice content is generally low enough in a typical serving to be keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Pork blood, rice, onions, lard/pork fat, spices (paprika, cumin), salt.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread is served alongside. Request a single tapa portion rather than a main course size if very strict with carb intake due to the rice content.
Watch out for
Often served with bread. The rice within the morcilla is the primary carb, though typically manageable in a small portion.
