minutes and add the stout.
Let the sauce bubble until reduced by a good half. Add the vinegar
and pepper and reduce further. Add the brown stock and simmer for
15-20 minutes.
Strain the sauce, return to the pan and correct the seasoning with
the pepper and wholegrain mustard. Finish the sauce with the knob
of butter.
For the Black and White Pudding: Slice the black and white
puddings at an angle into 1" pieces. Heat the oil and butter in a
frying pan or dry fry in a griddle pan. Fry the slices until
golden and thoroughly heated through.
To serve: Make the mash into a cake in the centre of each plate
and sit the slices of pudding on top. Garnish with a few sprigs of
lovage or parsley leaves. Spoon the sauce around the outside of
the plate and serve at once.
