Smoked Boudin

Ingredients:

• 3 cups chicken stock (enough to cover meat)

• 1 1/2 lbs. of pork roast, shoulder or butt (boneless)

• 1/2 lb liver, diced

• 1/2 cup white onions, diced

• 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced

• 1/4 cup celery, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, diced

• 3 green onion white part, diced

• 2 tsp salt

• 2-3 tbs Cajun Seasoning

• 1 tsp red pepper

• 1 1/2 cups of cooked white rice

• 1/2 cup parsley

• ½ cup green onions, green part only

Directions:

• Lightly coat the pork with cajun seasoning. In a hot skillet, sear the pork on all sides, about 2 min a side. Add to slow cooker.

• In the same skillet, sauté the onions, bell pepper & celery, add a little salt to let the moisture release.. Cook till soft. Add the garlic and the green onion whites. Cook a minute or 2 then add the liver and cook for another 2 minutes, add to the slow cooker.

• Add the cajun seasoning and red pepper then add enough chicken stock to cover meat. Cook on low for 3-4 hours till the pork is falling off the bone.

• When done, separate the meat and veggies from the liquid, reserving 1 cup.

• In a large bowl, add the meat & veggies, parsley, green onions & rice. Add about 1 cup of liquid till the mixture is moist. Mix to combine then run through the meat grinder.

• Stuff into casings.

• Brush the sausages with olive oile then smoke for 1 hour at 225.

Notes:

• The boudin is already cooked so you can server it a few different ways:

  • Microwave and remove the casing and eat.

  • Grilled (my favorite way to eat)

  • Sauté in a small pan with water or olive oil.

  • For breakfast microwave, remove from casings and serve with eggs.
