Boudin

Category: Cajun

10 lbs pork roast
3 medium onions, whole
5 shallots
2 bell peppers, whole
3 bunches green onion, chopped fine
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped fine
1 tsp white pepper
2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp black pepper
5 Tbsp cayenne
9 3/4 cup cooked rice
1 package of casing


1. In a large stockpot combine the pork roast, 5 whole shallots, 3 whole onions, and 2 whole bell peppers with enough water to cover the entire contents of pot. Boil until the meat begins to separate from the bone. Remove roast from water and then trim the fat from meat. Reserve stock.
2. With a meat grinder, grind together the meat with the boiled onions, shallots and peppers. Also grind in one additional raw onion.
3. Return the meat mixture to the pot and add the green onion and parsley, both chopped fine. Add the white pepper, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir thoroughly.
4. Add the cooked rice to the mixture and keep the consistency "wet" but not too wet to handle. Stuff the boudin mixture into the casing, make boudin balls or eat as a rice dressing. Boudin is often enjoyed with pork cracklings.
5. Because this recipe makes a substantial amount of boudin, most of it will likely be frozen for future use. To thaw the boudin, heat water to boiling in a large pot and place boudin in the pot and boil for 10 minutes. Remove and serve. Or, if making boudin balls, roll in a small amount of breadcrumbs before freezing. To thaw, deep fat fry until golden brown or cook in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes turning balls once.
