Sharing an offal (context: google offal at caution if you are vegan) recipe here that I intend to try. I will post an update when I do!
Blood Custard:
- 2 cups (500 ml) milk
- ½ cup (125 ml) sour cream / crème fraîche
- 100 ml (or slightly less than ½ cup) blood (goat, beef, or pig)
- 1 vanilla pod (or vanilla extract)
- 80 grams caster sugar
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams cornstarch
Pastry Dough:
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (180 ml) cold unsalted butter, diced into small cubes (alternatively lard)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 egg yolk (optional)
Prepare pastry dough in standard method. Or just. Buy it.
Flan:
- Sieve the blood to remove any clots.
- In a small bowl, mix the corn starch and about half of the blood until there are no clumps.
- In
a sauce pan, pour the rest of the blood, the cream, sugar, cocoa, and
vanilla, as well as the blood / cornstarch mixture. - Turn the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer while whisking continuously until thickened.
- Pour the cooled custard into the crust.
- Place
on a baking sheet and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until custard
is only slightly wobbly. Set the oven to broil and caramelize for about 5
minutes or until surface of custard is partially burnt. - Remove from the oven, allow to cool, and then refrigerate for 6 hours. De-mold.
