Butifarra is a fresh sausage that is widely consumed in Catalonia, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia and the Balearic Islands. It is a type of sausage made with pieces of ground pork, blood and some spices. As for cooking it, there are many ways to prepare it, the most common is to accompany it with mushrooms, vegetables, rice and you can grill it, in a casserole, or bake it, however you like. Emigrants from these regions of Spain have spread them throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Although they are becoming less common in Cuba, we had a “twisted version” of botifarra called “Fricandol” during the Special Period. Check out our recipe and if you find a fresh sausage when you go to the market, be sure to prepare it.
Ingredients:
  • 8 fresh pork sausages
  • ½ green pepper
  • 1 roasted red pepper
  • ½ onion
  • 12 cherry tomatoes or 1 salad tomato cut into cubes
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Oregano
Instructions:

In this recipe, add little salt because botifarras are usually very seasoned sausages. Its flavor is intense and is offset by the sweetness provided by the onion, cherry tomatoes and sweet pepper.

Mix them and let cook over medium heat until the sausages are done. The rest of the ingredients will remain very juicy and with a slightly crunchy touch. To finish, sprinkle a little oregano and serve hot, placing the sausages on top of the vegetables.

It is a simple recipe that can be accompanied by white rice and a cold beer. The sausage can also be cut into small pieces and becomes an excellent pincho or pica pica.
