About Morcela de arroz

Morcela de Arroz is a traditional Portuguese blood sausage made with a combination of pork blood, rice, and various spices such as garlic, paprika, and cumin. This culinary specialty originates from the northern regions of Portugal, where it has been enjoyed for generations as part of hearty meals. Its unique flavor comes from the blend of savory spices and the richness of pork blood, which also provides a high iron content. While the rice adds texture, it also increases the carb content, making this dish relatively calorie-dense. Although Morcela de Arroz is a good source of protein and iron, it can be high in fat and sodium, which may not suit all dietary preferences. Typically served grilled or boiled, it pairs well with rustic bread, vegetables, or even incorporated into stews, offering a distinctive taste of Portugal’s gastronomic heritage.
