Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bacon rashers
- 4 links Sausages
- 2 slices Black pudding
- 2 slices White pudding
- 2 slices Potato bread
- 2 slices Soda bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 large Tomatoes
- 100 grams Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the bacon rashers and sausages to the pan and cook until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In the same pan, add the slices of black pudding and white pudding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and heated through. Remove and set aside with the bacon and sausages.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the slices of potato bread and soda bread to the pan. Fry them in the rendered fat for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Wipe the pan clean if necessary, then add a bit more oil or butter. Slice the tomato in half and add it to the pan, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly caramelized. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove and set aside.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them to your desired doneness (sunny side up is traditional). Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Plate the Ulster Fry by arranging the bacon, sausages, black pudding, white pudding, potato bread, soda bread, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggs attractively on a large platter or individual plates.
Serve immediately with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a truly authentic experience.
