Hessian Sushi with Black Pudding and Chickpea Ragout

The Hessen pesto is best prepared one day in advance. This allows the aromas of the fresh herbs to develop better. Coarsely chop the herbs and rocket. Put all ingredients except the olive oil in a blender and chop. Slowly add olive oil at low speed so that it binds slightly.

For the Hessian sushi, the Harzer is first crushed in a bowl with a fork. Then the cream cheese is added. The whole thing is seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika powder. If the mass is too dry, it can be diluted with a dash of cream. But be careful not to let the cream get too thin, otherwise it will run out of the wrap.

For the ragout, the onion is first cut into fine cubes and steamed in olive oil until translucent. In the meantime, puree the peeled tomatoes, then add to the onion cubes and season with salt, pepper, paprika and herbs from Provence. You have to be careful here, as the blood sausage adds flavor and spice. Let the whole thing simmer briefly and add the black pudding diced to the tomatoes. Just before the sausage is completely overcooked, add about 5-6 tablespoons of chickpeas. Simmer for about 5 minutes and serve (alternatively, pre-cook the ragout and add the chickpeas when warming up).

Prepare the bratwurst normally in a pan or in the grill. The sauerkraut can also be heated in the pan. This gives it a few toasted aromas.

Caramelize 3-4 tablespoons of sugar in another pan or saucepan and deglaze with apple cider. Now add the diced apple and simmer briefly (the apple dice should still be slightly bite).

First warm the wraps in the oven. So they can be rolled better. Now the hand cheese cream is spread on a wrap, covered with smoked ham and rolled up. Always moisten the ends a little. That way they stick better. Then put it in the oven to keep it warm.

Then take the next wrap, place the sausage in the middle, then add a few rocket leaves and the apple cubes. Also roll up and put in the oven with it (approx. 80 degrees).

For serving, the Hessen pesto is combined with the hand cheese cream wrap, the sauerkraut with the bratwurst wrap. If you want to hand over a black pudding chip, you can carefully bake thin slices of black pudding in a pan and place them on a kitchen towel.
