Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 0.5 pound Pork liver
- 1.5 cups White rice
- 3 cups Water
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks Celery stalk, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parsley, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 3 pieces Natural hog casings (gluten-free)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the white rice thoroughly and cooking it in a pot with 3 cups of water until fully cooked and fluffy. Set aside to cool.
Cut the pork shoulder and pork liver into small pieces.
In a large pot, add the pork shoulder, pork liver, chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cover the mixture with water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour until the meat is tender.
Once cooked, remove the meat from the pot and let it cool slightly before mincing or grinding it using a meat grinder.
Reserve one cup of the cooking liquid and discard the rest.
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat mixture with cooked rice, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, parsley, and green onions.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid if the mixture seems too dry.
Soak the hog casings in warm water to make them pliable, then rinse them thoroughly inside and out.
Using a sausage stuffer attachment on your mixer or a sausage stuffer machine, fill the casings with the meat and rice mixture.
Twist the stuffed casings into links by twisting every 6 to 8 inches.
Once fully stuffed, poach the boudin sausages in simmering water for about 10-15 minutes to fully cook through.
Boudin can be served immediately or can be refrigerated for later use. Enjoy the classic Cajun flavors in a gluten-free way!
