Stuffed Capsicums

These black pudding stuffed capsicums are simply delish.  At first I was a little apprehensive of this recipe as I always thought stuffed capsicums were a little old skool.  Not gonna lie though I had fun re-making an old classic.  Using some great homegrown (Irish) products in Clonakilty black pudding and some butternut squash and my current favourite cheese in cooking - Udderdelights goats curd. I ain't gonna lie and say I even impressed myself!

Stuffed Capsicums

Clonakilty

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about here I figured it best I give a little intro into the gloriousness that is Clonakilty black pudding!  Clonakilty is a small town in southern Ireland. Cork to be exact - some say it's the "real" capital of Ireland.  Some would be delusional I would say!  Anyways, the town itself is a classic small Irish town with a population of about 5000, multiple pubs, shops and b&b's.  But most importantly it's the home of Ireland's most famous black pudding.

History & The Recipe

Ireland's famous black puddings recipe is over 200 years old and is more popular than ever these days.  That is no mean feat!  Back in the day most families would make a portion of their income making black pudding at home. This would then be sold to the local butcher shops.  The Clonakilty recipe has changed hands many times over the years but the recipe has stayed the same.  Now in the hands of the Twomey family the pudding crops up in cafes, local restaurants and fine dining establishments in Ireland and here in my current home Australia.

Stuffed Capsicums

When doing this dish I wanted to add some bold flavours to it as capsicums can tend to be a little plain (in my opinion).  So when I saw that woolies are stocking Ireland's favourite pudding it was a no brainer!  I took ingredients that you would typically pair with black pudding, grabbed some herbs from the garden and my go to cheese right now and off I went to make myself and Mrs AnotherFoodBlogger a kick ass lunch.  Well as you can see from the pics it was a success.  So much so that it's been requested a few times to make.  What's even better is my toddler ADORES black pudding.  Which I'm not gonna lie is weird considering how picky she is.  But I ain't gonna question it!

A few essential tools I used in making these stuffed capsicums are listed below.  So if you don't have any then get on it and get roasting!
