In a food processor, blend the roughly chopped peeled black pudding,
spring onions, red peppers, potatoes mustard and vinegar. Season to
taste and mold the mixture into cylindrical shapes about 5 cm long, roll
in flour, then egg, beaten and finally the breadcrumbs. Shallow fry in
plenty of hot oil until golden brown, drain on kitchen paper and keep
warm.

Meanwhile, dissolve the sugar in the water and bring up to the boil to
make a syrup, then add the gooseberries and cook gently for 10 minutes,
until soft.

Strain off excess juice, then arrange the warm compote on heated serving
plates with the reserved croquettes and a small salad garnish.
