Just got home from work .. Give me a second


FYI - Utube has several videos on making boudin. The last several times I made boudin, it was the old school , traditional cajun way . We slaughtered an 80lb farm raised pig as the entire animal was used. We also made hogs head cheese

Scott,

Sorry I'm a month late on your request .... IMO, you will have to expirament with different recipes and make boudin 5-6 times before perfecting the recipe and flavor you like. Everyone has their own variation based on ingredients , spices, and texture. Boudin from Lafayette and Ville Platte is different from boudin made in other parts of the State.


thousands of boudin recipes as this will get you started
basically pork butt or shoulder cubed, vegetables, liver, seasoning, rice and casing

here's another recipe link with info ... http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/20...e-boudain.html



watch this video for the basic idea of preparation .... ( i cube my meat and boil 1st, then either run through a course grinder or shred like "pulled pork" if you like larger pcs of meat in your boudin)

i definitely recommend saving your stock juices to cook the rice with , it will add more flavor

No worries Blake. We have a couple of tried and true simple recipes that we use each year. I was just wondering if you had a favorite that you would recommend. We ended up making 350lbs. All turned out good.
