Steps

1. 1

   Begin by heating oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the sausages until they are golden brown and fully cooked, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Next, add the bacon to the pan and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it is crispy and golden, using paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Place the slices of black pudding and/or white pudding in the pan, cooking them for around 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they start to crisp up; if you're using white pudding, aim for a golden color. Once everything is cooked, remove the sausages, bacon, and pudding slices from the pan and let them drain on paper towels before serving.

2. 2

   Transfer the food to an oven-safe dish and place it in a low-temperature oven to maintain its warmth.

3. 3

   Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil along with a knob of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the button mushrooms to the pan. Sauté them for 3 to 4 minutes until they become soft and start to develop a golden color. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then transfer them from the pan to a warm plate (to be added later with the sausages and bacon). For a large flat mushroom, cook it in the same pan by adding more oil and butter. Fry the mushroom for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through cooking, until it is tender and nicely browned.
