While most of the world knows morcilla as a savory blood sausage, Uruguay does things differently: here it is sweet, perfumed with cinnamon and orange, and served at the start of an asado alongside the chorizos. The contrast of rich, earthy blood sausage with sweet raisins and crunchy walnuts is a flavor you won’t forget.
The sweet twist on the asado’s dark horse
Sliced and grilled, the morcilla dulce develops a lightly crisp, caramelized edge while the inside stays soft, dense, and almost pudding-like. The raisins burst with sweetness, the walnuts add crunch, and the orange zest lifts the whole thing with a bright, festive note.
