150 minutes
Bearn black sausage (boudin noir) is a traditional dish of French cuisine filled with deep, rich flavors and centuries-old traditions. Its roots trace back to the rural regions of France where the art of meat preparation was passed down through generations. Tender pork meat, a wealth of aromatic spices, onions, and garlic create a unique combination, while the addition of pig's blood gives the sausage a velvety texture and rich taste. Slow cooking enhances its complex aroma, and sterilization ensures its longevity. Boudin noir can be served cold to enjoy its softness or grilled to reveal its spicy notes.
