Mix the sautéed onions and garlic with the cooked rice in a large bowl.

Add pork blood to the rice mixture and stir until well combined.

Incorporate spices and herbs into the mixture, adjusting to taste.

Stuff the mixture into sausage casings, ensuring they are tightly packed.

Tie off the ends of the casings securely to prevent leakage.

Simmer the sausages in water over low heat for 30-40 minutes until firm.

Remove from water and let cool slightly before slicing.

Grill or pan-fry the sausages until crispy on the outside, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve warm with bread or as part of a traditional Galician dish.
