Ingredients per 1000g (1 kg) of meat
Salt18 g3 tsp
Black pepper2.0 g1 tsp
Pimentón, sweet10.0 g5 tsp
Pimentón, hot4.0 g2 tsp
Cinnamon1.0 g½ tsp
Cloves, ground0.5 g1/4 tsp
Oregano, ground2.0 g1 tsp
Instructions
  1. Peel off onions and chop them finely. Mix them with rice and leave overnight in a suitable container. The rice will absorb onion juice and will increase in volume.
  2. Dice fat into 1/2” cubes.
  3. Stuff loosely into 32-36 mm hog casings as the rice will still increase in volume during cooking. Make 12” rings.
  4. Cook in a hot water at 80° C (176° F) for about 60 minutes. Prick with a needle any sausage that comes to the top to remove air. Don’t increase temperature as the casings may burst.
  5. The color should be dark brown-red with white pieces of fat.
Notes
The remaining morcilla stock known as calducho is used for cooking.
