## Blood Sausage and Blue Cheese Sandwich Recipe

**Prep time:** 15 minutes

**Cook time:** 15 minutes

**Servings:** 2

### Ingredients

- 2 blood sausages
- 2 onions
- 2 marraqueta rolls (or crusty bread)
- 100 ml of cream
- 2 tablespoons of walnuts
- 1 tablespoon of blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar
- 1 sprig of oregano
- Olive oil
- Arugula leaves
- Fine salt
- Black pepper

### Preparation Steps

1. Heat the cream until it reaches a boil, then add the crumbled blue cheese. Turn off the heat and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil and cook the onions over low heat until caramelized.
2. Add the sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a couple more minutes, add the vinegar, stir, and turn off the heat. In a medium pot, place the blood sausages with ¼ of an onion and the oregano, boil for 10 minutes, then remove, peel, and set aside.
3. Preheat the marraqueta rolls in a toaster and layer the blood sausage on the bottom half. Add a few arugula leaves, the caramelized onion, the cream and blue cheese sauce, and chopped walnuts. Serve immediately, alone or accompanied by a good tea or coffee.

## Extra Tips

- Boost the umami flavor by adding a few drops of soy sauce or tamari to the cream and blue cheese mixture before heating.
- Enjoy a contrast in textures by adding a bit of grated or thinly sliced green apple, which brings freshness and crunch.

##  What Type of Blood Sausage Should I Use?

The best choice is fresh, artisanal blood sausages, as they offer a firmer texture and a more pronounced flavor. Prepackaged or heavily processed versions tend to be softer and less flavorful.

## Is it Necessary to Boil the Blood Sausages First?

Yes, boiling the blood sausages helps them maintain their shape while handling and removes some excess fat. Grilling them briefly afterward intensifies their flavor and adds a pleasant smoky note to the sandwich.

## What’s the Purpose of the Cream?

The cream serves as a base to melt and smooth out the blue cheese, resulting in a rich and velvety sauce that balances the other components of the sandwich—especially the texture of the walnuts and the intensity of the blood sausage.

## Did You Know?

Blue cheese is a general classification for cheeses made from cow’s, sheep’s, or goat’s milk, cultivated with Penicillium mold. This gives the cheese its characteristic blue or greenish-gray marbling.
