To make the boudin:
Simmer in covered pot the pork meat, liver, onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in water to cover. When meat falls apart, remove meat and reserve strained broth. Discard cooked vegetables.
Grind meat, onion, green onions and parsley. Mix ground meat mixture with the reserved 1/2 cup of green onions and 1/2 cup parsley and the cooked rice. Gradually add broth to make a moist dressing. Season to taste, but this dish is usually highly seasoned .Form into boudin balls (recipe follows). (Yield: 5 lbs.)
To make the Boudin Balls:
If the boudin is in casing(store bought), remove from casing. If you used the above method just simply form dressing into balls about the size of walnuts. Dip balls in beaten egg and then into seasoned bread crumbs. Deep-fry balls in cooking oil at about 325 degrees until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with toothpicks.
