If there is something that is easy to grill, it is a Morcilla, a blood sausage, the perfect complement to a chorizo. Why it is called a superfood and how to make a delicious bruschetta with it, you can find out here:

What is a Morcilla?

The Morcilla is a poached sausage made from coagulated beef blood. Therefore it provides our body with a lot of iron. You only need to warm it up briefly and it is ready. However, you can also enjoy the Morcilla cold with a bit of lemon juice. In Argentina, it is also referred to as a nutritious superfood.

The Morcilla is a traditional Argentine sausage made from pork blood, rice, onions, and spices. It is often served as a side dish to other Argentine dishes such as empanadas, milanesa, and also on its own with chimichurri.

What does low heat mean in Asado?

Low heat in Asado is a popular technique. The food is slowly cooked at low temperatures. This technique is often used to keep the food tender and juicy. In Asado, the low heat is generated by not bringing the embers too close to the food or by placing the grill grate (as in Brasa) a bit higher. 

Preparation of the Bruschetta Morcilla:

Ingredients:

For the filling

• 2 ½ cups of pig's blood
• 2 Tierdarm
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

In Argentina, you can also get a ready-made Morcilla at almost any butcher. Here in Germany, there is Blutwurst, which has different ingredients and is not grilled.

• 1 lemon

Preparation:

1. Put the pig's blood, the cooked rice, the chopped onion, the parsley, the oregano, the allspice, the paprika, the salt, the sugar, and the cinnamon into a bowl. 
2. Mix this mixture well.
3. Fill the mixture into a natural casing. 
4. Produce low heat (30 cm above the grill food) on the grill and grill the Morcilla for 7 minutes on each side.
5. Place the bread on the grill and let it toast a little.
6. Then rub the bread with garlic. 
7. Cut the Morcilla into small pieces and place it on the bread.
8. Still pour a little lemon over it and you already have a delicious bruschetta.

Tip: 

Never pierce the blood sausage, otherwise it will lose its delicious juice.
