Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery stalks, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup flour (use gluten-free if needed)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
• 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 2

To the skillet, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the scallions, Cajun seasoning, cooked rice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Shape the cooled meat mixture into 1.5-inch balls, using about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each.

Step 7

Dip each ball first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat.

Step 8

In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the boudin balls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Remove boudin balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
