3. HOW TO COOK BOUDIN?
- Ingredients:
9mm Popper Stuffer in Large and Small Sized Casings (from Butcher Boys).
Rice, uncooked (50lbs for 100-125 servings).
Tablespoon of Salt/Gallon of Pork Meat Soup (about 20 gallons for 100 servings).
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (about 20 gallons for 100 servings).
(Optional but necessary): About 10lbs of pork liver or pig stomachs per 25 lbs of pork meat is recommended.
- Preparations:
Mix the meat with spices and rice; fill into about 25mm casings; twist into 6-inch sections; tie off each end to form links. (Note: the link sizes are 14-16 inches long for large casing and 9-11 inches long for small casing).
Bake the boudin at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool, then cut into pieces and serve.
INGREDIENTS FOR COOKING RECIPE: ⅔ lb Pork 1½ cup Chicken Broth 2 Onions, chopped 3 Cloves Garlic 1 tsp Salt ¼ tsp Black Pepper 1 Bay Leaf 8 oz Rice 8 oz Celery, diced 4 oz Green Bell Pepper, chopped 16 oz Italian Sausage ½ cup Parsley.
Directions: (Before doing anything, wash your hands thoroughly)
Cut pork into small chunks, put them in a pot and cover with water. Add about a teaspoon of salt to the water as well as a dash of pepper if desired. Cover the pot, bring the contents to a boil over medium high heat then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about an hour or until tender enough that you can easily shred it with two forks.
While waiting for meat to cook, dice celery, green bell pepper and onion very finely-like confetti sized pieces. In a separate pot add oil and sauté vegetables on med/low heat until they are barely browned (about ten minutes). Add garlic towards the end of cooking vegetables so as to avoid burning the garlic.
Drain the meat and set aside the broth for later use (we recommend keeping it in a container in your refrigerator if you plan on using it within two days) . Shred all of the pork with forks and return to pot containing vegetables, mix thoroughly. Add salt/pepper as needed (be sure not to add too much salt since sausage has plenty of its own).
If desired season with additional cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (optional). Reduce heat and simmer mixture until most of liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked through (about thirty minutes).
Use only about ½ cup of broth per pound of sausage/rice mix, don’t drown it! The idea is that this is a dry mixture, not soup. Add broth and mix thoroughly until all rice is coated with liquid and pork mixture is moist but not wet.
If the rice soaks up too much liquid before it is finished cooking add more broth and continue to cook until done (you may need several cups of broth if you let the sausage cool before adding it to the rice). Rice should be tender but firm in the middle when done (al dente) also assure that there is no excess moisture in pot or on bottom of pan when served.
Place boudin into serving dish (glass works best), serve hot with crusty bread, cornbread croutons, or spoon over mashed potatoes for additional flavor/texture variation! ENJOY!
COOKING NOTES:
The smaller the sausage is chopped and the more finely diced vegetables are, the easier it will be to mix the rice into the boudin.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as too much cayenne pepper when cooking boudin! The spicier it gets, the better it tastes… well unless you’re a wimp.
After adding broth to rice/boudin mixture do not stir for at least five minutes so that rice has an opportunity to soak up liquid before stirring. Stirring too soon can result in a clumpy/mushy texture which some people may not enjoy (but everyone likes this recipe). five minutes of resting time, while the rice absorbs the broth, will result in perfectly cooked rice.
The choice is yours; if you like your boudin with vegetables inside you can add them to the mixture or not. The basic cooking instructions do not include any vegetables but they are an option for more flavor/texture variation.
Try adding mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli anything! Use imagination and before long you’ll be playing with different ingredients just to see how it tastes, then one day BAM! You’ve got yourself a new recipe that only took minutes!
If pork can’t be found easily at your market try asking someone behind the meat counter to order some for you (they usually won’t charge extra). If worst comes to worst ask around, call one or two other grocery stores, maybe they have it in stock. Don’t give up!
Pork can be substituted for beef but results are not guaranteed to be the same. We recommend making this dish with pork only because the original recipe calls for it and you won’t know until you try if beef works well in lieu of pork in this case.
Leave out the celery if desired; results will vary depending on who makes it so recipes can differ in taste/texture/appearance when celery is left out. Which leads us to our next note…
Please do not leave comments complaining that your boudin didn’t turn out well because you “left something out” or “didn’t change anything”. That’s great that you made it on your own, but this isn’t a box of macaroni and cheese where the recipe is “leave out the celery” or “add extra butter!”.
Boudin recipes are less exact since they’re open to interpretation so please don’t complain if something doesn’t turn out exactly as expected.
Didn’t have time to let pork cool before adding to rice? No problem! Just add about ¼ of the broth to the boudin/rice mixture before microwaving it. Microwave on high for 30 seconds then stir, wait another thirty seconds then stir again. This should yield moist but not wet rice since some of the moisture will have evaporated off into the air during the microwaving process.
We recommend using uncooked rice for this recipe so that you can control the amount of broth to use depending on your personal taste preferences. If you like your boudin extra moist add more broth, if not than use less.
If serving to children or anyone with a sensitive palate we suggest adding as little cayenne to the mixture as possible and offering hot sauce on the side so that those who do want it hotter can douse their boudin in Louisiana’s favorite condiment!
