Blood sausage or blood sausage is a sausage made from blood. It sounds scary, but this dish has a lot of fans.
To prepare blood sausage at home, fresh pork, veal or ox blood is usually used, the latter being preferable to veal blood because it hardens poorly when cooked.
Fresh blood collected during the slaughter of livestock, so that it does not clot, is hot and vigorously stirred with a wooden paddle (stick), threads of fibrin protein are wound around it (it promotes blood clotting).
Blood deprived of fibrin - it is called defibrinated - is better preserved.
This is the blood that is used to make blood sausage.
Salted blood (salt is added to the container with blood before beating) can be stored for some time in a cool place in a tightly sealed container.
To check whether the blood is suitable for making sausage, shake it thoroughly and strain through a sieve, and then pour a small amount of blood into the palm of your hand.
If, when you move your palm, the blood spreads easily and evenly stains the palm, it is suitable for consumption.
If the blood does not leave a red mark on the palm and seems to shrink when it moves, it has deteriorated.
Fresh defibrinated blood is stirred, salted (take 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 kg of blood) and taken to a cold place or refrigerated for 1 hour.
While the blood cools, prepare the remaining ingredients for the blood sausage mince.
Usually, meat trimmings from the neck and other parts, lard and its skin, soft parts of the head and tendons are used for this.
Usually about 500 g of trimmings are taken per 1 kg of blood.
The trimmings of the meat are finely chopped along with the fat, then boiled or fried, passed through a meat grinder and spices are added.
Often minced meat for blood sausage is prepared with porridge, usually buckwheat, but this is not necessary.
The porridge can be different: rice, pearl barley, wheat or barley (blood, porridge and pork are taken in approximately equal parts).
The porridge is boiled and most often mixed with onions sautéed in fat.
Sometimes salted and boiled tongue, cut into thin strips, is added to the minced meat.
The prepared minced meat is mixed with blood.
Before this, the blood is filtered through a colander or sieve lined with gauze.
If clots remain on the sieve, they are rubbed through it or passed through a meat grinder and also added to the minced meat.
The resulting mixture is loosely filled with large pork or beef intestines (a cecum or bladder can also be used for this blood sausage) and the ends are tied with twine.
The prepared loaves are placed in a cauldron, filled with water and boiled at low boiling water for 1-3 hours, depending on the size of the sausages.
During the cooking process, the loaves are pierced in several places with a needle so that they do not burst.
Readiness is determined as follows: remove the sausage and make 2-3 punctures deep.
If, when pressed, light transparent juice flows out of the puncture, the sausage is ready; if the juice is bloody, cooking must be continued.
The cooked sausage is removed from the cauldron, placed in a colander, and when the broth has drained, it is cooled in a suspended state.
Instead of boiling the blood sausage, you can bake it in the oven, placing it on a greased baking sheet.
Blood sausage is usually eaten cold, but it is also delicious fried.
Blood sausage is not stored for long and must be stored in the refrigerator.

It is quite possible to prepare blood sausage at home, especially if you have our step by step recipe with photo. Another thing is that this is a rather specific process, which not everyone can withstand - because of pig blood. If you have enough fortitude and want to really surprise your family... delicious blood– then we will be happy to help you with this.
We use only fresh meat and lard for blood sausages: thawed products will not make the sausage so juicy and flavorful. Add salt carefully: blood is salty, so don’t add the whole amount at once. If the intestines are of a different size, you will need more or less of them accordingly.
This recipe tells you how to cook blood sausage in the oven, but you can also cook it in the oven. As for the grill, it seems to me that it is not entirely suitable; for a picnic, it is better to use the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 liters of pork blood;
- 0.5 kg of fresh lard;
- 350-400 g pork pulp;
- 1 liter of crumbly buckwheat porridge (240 g of cereal);
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper;
- 2 teaspoons salt (approximately);
- 1 teaspoon bay leaf powder (optional);
- 2 m of intestines with a diameter of 7-8 cm.
Recipe with photos step by step:
First of all, you should cook the buckwheat porridge. Since we use it cold, you can cook it the day before. The porridge must be boiled. We sort out the buckwheat and wash it in several waters. Bring 0.5 liters of water to a boil, add a little salt and pour in the buckwheat. Bring to a boil, carefully skim off the foam. Place the pan with buckwheat on the divider, on low heat and cover with a lid. Without opening the lid, without stirring, cook the porridge for 15 minutes. Then we wrap the pan with porridge in a blanket and leave for 1 hour. Buckwheat for blood sausages is ready.
Rinse the meat and lard with cold water and dry with a paper towel.
Coarsely chop half the lard and pass it through a meat grinder - a grid with large holes. Cut the second half of the lard into small cubes.
We also cut the meat into small cubes.
Fry the lard, passed through a meat grinder, over low heat until it turns into lard, but do not bring it to dry cracklings - they should remain soft, light (not golden in color).
We also place the chopped lard in a frying pan, melt it for 2-3 minutes, then add the meat and stir. Fry the meat with lard over low heat for 25-30 minutes, also not until the cracklings become dry. Add a little salt to the meat. You can fry meat and lard at the same time as twisted lard, but this will require a very large frying pan. It’s more convenient to do this at the same time, but in 2 frying pans.
Strain the pork blood through a sieve. We pass the remaining clots (they are necessarily formed during the slaughter of animals) through a meat grinder or, if there are only a few of them, grind them with a blender.
Place buckwheat porridge in a large bowl or wide pan, cool the meat and lard slightly so that the blood does not clot, and then add it to the pan.
Add blood and mix. We put black ground pepper, Bay leaf in powder, mix and taste for salt. It is impossible to accurately indicate the amount of salt - it depends on the degree of salinity of the blood. We finally bring the sausage mixture to taste.
Now let's stuff the intestines. You can use pork or beef intestines for blood sausages, there is no difference. The main requirement is that the intestines must be well cleaned and odorless. We wash them in cold water.
We tie one end of the intestine securely with thread, making several strong knots.
We fill the intestine with blood mass. If the intestines are larger in diameter, the filling process occurs quickly: we scoop out the blood mixture with a cup and pour it into the intestine, holding it open with our hands. While filling the intestines, constantly stir the sausage mixture so that the buckwheat does not settle to the bottom and the sausage turns out homogeneous.
If the intestines are smaller in diameter, it will take longer to fill it. You may have to use a spoon or ladle. We do not stuff the intestines too tightly: during baking, the volume of the sausage increases significantly. Also, leave about 3-4 cm unfilled at the end of the intestines to ensure that the intestines do not burst.
Line a baking sheet with parchment, which we grease with vegetable oil or lard. Place the filled blood sausages loosely so that the ends do not touch (this can also lead to cracking of the blood sausage).
Place the baking sheet with sausages in an oven preheated to 130 degrees C and bake for 15 minutes. Then we pierce the sausage after 7-10 cm to allow steam to escape, increase the temperature to 150 degrees C and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet with the bloodstains from the oven and carefully turn them over. The blood vessels are very hot, so be sure to use napkins to avoid burning your hands. We prick the sausage after about 15 cm. Be careful: melted fat may trickle out through the hole.
Place the baking sheet with the blood in the oven again and bake for another 15 minutes. The time depends on the diameter of the intestines and may vary slightly. The finished sausage becomes a beautiful dark, almost black color; if you pierce it with a toothpick, there is no trace of blood left on it.
Cool the finished sausage a little, then you can take a sample.
Bon appetit!

- 1.5 liters of fresh blood;
- 300 gr. cheeks;
- 3 tsp salts;
- 100 ml fresh milk (2.6%);
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper;
- 3 garlic cloves.
Cooking process:
- We start preparing sausage by preparing fresh intestines for stuffing. We clean and rinse them in running water. Pour water with table vinegar or lemon juice for half an hour. The acidic environment will kill all microorganisms and also get rid of the unpleasant odor.
A soda solution is also often used to treat intestines: 4 tbsp. baking soda per 1 liter of water.
- Then, having cut the intestines into meter-long pieces, we rinse them with a stream of water. We clean the outer side of the “spray” with the remaining fat - a thin string with a thin layer of intestinal fat, running along the entire surface of the intestine. Using a pin or stick, turn all the intestines over to the other side. We clean off the entire layer of interior fat, which is completely saturated with an unpleasant odor. We rinse again, the shell is ready.
- We rinse the cheek and separate the meat from the fat. Cut both products separately into small pieces. Transfer the lard to a heated frying pan. Fry it, stirring often, until the first fat has rendered out. After 5 minutes, add the meat and fry until golden brown. Drain some fat from the pan; it will be useful for further cooking.
- We sort out the buckwheat, rinse it, pour it into a fireproof form, pour in some water to cover the grain with a fingertip. Place the porridge in the oven for 20 minutes, preheated to 220 degrees. At the same time, turn off the oven heating so that the buckwheat gradually steams and does not burn.
- We pour the blood through a sieve, and grind the clots in a blender until pureed.
- Mix blood with milk, season with salt and pepper. Then add the slightly cooled fried cheek. Add garlic minced through a garlic press to this. At the end, add chilled buckwheat and mix the minced meat thoroughly.
- We stuff the intestines with minced meat in any convenient way, after tying the tip with a knot and securing it with regular thread. We fill the intestines not very tightly, about 2/3 of the volume, so that the shell does not burst during cooking. Roll the sausages into rings.
- Place the blood in a saucepan with cold water and gradually heat the water until it boils. After the water boils, cook the bloodsucker over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet with parchment paper, make several punctures with a needle to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the sausage for half an hour in the oven. Set the initial temperature to 160 degrees and reduce it by 10 degrees every 10 minutes. After the first 10 minutes of baking, take out the baking sheet and grease the sausages with the pork fat that was left earlier.
