Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Morcilla Tapas (Spanish Blood Sausage)
A classic Spanish tapa made easy: crispy slices of rice morcilla (blood sausage) on toasted bread with sweet red pepper. The air fryer crisps the edges and renders the morcilla without the splatter of pan-frying.
It's a quick, bold appetizer that tastes like a tapas bar back in Spain — ready in about 10 minutes with almost no effort.
Ingredients
Instructions
Slice
Cut the morcilla into slices about ½-inch thick. Lightly dust with flour if you like an extra-crisp edge.
Air fry
Brush the slices with olive oil and air fry at 390°F for about 10 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp outside and soft within.
Assemble
Mount each slice on a piece of crusty bread, top with roasted red pepper, and serve warm.
- A light dusting of flour gives a crispier crust.
- Don't flip too early — let a crust form so the slices hold together.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
