Crispy black pudding cooked in an air fryer

By Lou Neary Kitchen Expert • Updated June 9, 2024

🥘 Black pudding in the Air Fryer: crispy, melting and guaranteed not to burst.
Tired of cleaning up grease splatters after frying black pudding? The Air Fryer is the miracle solution. In just 12 minutes, you get an ultra-crispy skin and a juicy interior.

💡 Why does black pudding love the Air Fryer?

Black pudding is a delicate product. In a pan, direct heat tends to boil the inside too quickly, causing the skin to burst. In an air fryer, even convection sears the skin instantly. As a result, it hardens and forms a protective barrier that keeps all the melt-in-your-mouth texture inside. No lingering odor, no constant monitoring!

🛒 Ingredients

⏱️ 12 min

For 2 people

🩸 2 black puddings

🍏 1 Golden Delicious or Pink Lady apple

🧅 1 sweet onion

🫒 1 tbsp Olive oil

⚡ Steps to successfully making your blood sausage

Step 1 : Piercing: Using a toothpick, pierce the skin of the sausage 3 or 4 times on each side. This allows the steam to escape without tearing the skin.

Step 2 The fruit bed: Cut your apples into quarters and slice the onion. Mix them with the olive oil directly in the basket.

Step 3 Cooking: Place the sausages on top of the apples. Bake at 180°C for 12 minutes . Gently turn the sausages over halfway through cooking with a flat spatula.

🤩 Lou's tip: If you like your black pudding very crispy, increase the temperature to 200°C for the last 2 minutes of cooking!

🤫 Variations and Side Dishes

Express version: Accompany it with a simple unsweetened applesauce if you don't have fresh apples.
The classic: Serve with homemade mashed potatoes (boiled or steamed) for the ultimate "comfort" meal.
Spicy touch: A hint of Espelette pepper on the apples before cooking beautifully awakens the blood sausage.

Caution: Do not use metal tongs to turn the sausage over, as you risk puncturing the skin and emptying the sausage. Use a silicone or wooden spatula.

❓ FAQ

Can white pudding be cooked in the same way?

Yes, absolutely! White pudding cooked in an air fryer is delicious. The cooking time is the same (12 minutes at 180°C).

Do you need to preheat the Air Fryer?

It's not mandatory, but preheating for 3 minutes at 180°C helps to sear the skin faster for maximum crispiness.
