What is sangrecita?

Sangrecita, also known as blood sausage, is a type of sausage made from pig's blood, rice, and various seasonings. It is a popular dish in many Latin American countries, particularly in Peru, where it is often served as a street food or appetizer.

The blood gives sangrecita its distinctive dark color and rich flavor, while the rice helps to give it a light and slightly fluffy texture. The seasonings can vary, but typically include garlic, onion, cumin, and chili peppers.

Sangrecita is usually cooked by frying or grilling, and is often served with a side of potatoes, yuca, or corn. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is enjoyed by many people in Peru and beyond.
