Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Slice the moronga (blood sausage) into thick rounds, approximately 1/2-inch each to keep them intact during frying.

  2. 2

    Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Carefully add the sausage slices to the hot skillet in a single layer; sear each side for 3–4 minutes without disturbing to form a crisp crust, then turn and repeat.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium, add chopped onion, bell pepper, and tomato to the pan, sautéing around the sausage slices until vegetables are softened and aromatic, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the entire mixture with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Stir gently, add fresh cilantro, and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and serve immediately with salsa if desired.
