Boudin sausage

[AdamCA]

willie6378 I want to say it was around 17-18 pounds of Pork Butt, around 7 pounds of cooked rice the a couple pounds of green onions, bell peppers and celery and white onions when I made it as actual Boudin. When I made it as a Fresh and Smoked sausage I made 10 lbs of each and adjusted the seasoning for that batch size.

willie6378 Amount of rice is a personal preference. Typically see anywhere from 25%-50% cooked rice. The recipes volumes are usually for cooked rice, not dry rice.

Sounds like the “Families” secret recipe?

Not really. I grew up just outside Baton Rouge and really missed boudin when I moved to IL for work. This recipe is just a mixture of many recipes I have seen online over the years and adjusted to my taste. Like most recipes in Louisiana for Jambalaya, Gumbo, Dirty rice, Etouffee, etc. it is just a guide. Cajuns were very poor people who lived off the land and ate what they could kill or catch in the swamps. They often stretched the recipes with rice. The most important part is taste before you stuff into casings and adjust seasoning as rice is bland and it will take a lot of seasoning.

Grill, broil, or poach and serve with crackers, mustard, hot sauce and spicy pickles.

Also try making some boudin balls. Roll some of the filling into balls about the size of an egg. Dip in egg wash, roll in panko (or cracker crumbs), and deep fry.

keend0 Sorry I didn’t thank you when you posted this. Great basic recipe for boudin and a good place to start for those that have not made it before.

I agree with the chicken livers rather than pork. Most people I have sold this to prefer the milder flavor.

Great Job.

Chef I made fried boudin b alls with calves liver once.
Luckily I knew to pare the liver content considerably but still instantly noticeable
People who liked liver loved them, non liver people not so much

Edited to get b lls by censors

glen I need to serve them in about a month to Country Folks in Texas. Debating whether to use liver at all or not.
