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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Cut the pork shoulder and pork liver into small pieces.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the meat from the pot and let it cool slightly before mincing or grinding it using a meat grinder.

Step 5

Reserve one cup of the cooking liquid and discard the rest.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat mixture with cooked rice, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, parsley, and green onions.

Step 7

Mix all ingredients thoroughly, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid if the mixture seems too dry.

Step 8

Soak the hog casings in warm water to make them pliable, then rinse them thoroughly inside and out.

Step 9

Using a sausage stuffer attachment on your mixer or a sausage stuffer machine, fill the casings with the meat and rice mixture.

Step 10

Twist the stuffed casings into links by twisting every 6 to 8 inches.

Step 11

Once fully stuffed, poach the boudin sausages in simmering water for about 10-15 minutes to fully cook through.

Step 12

Boudin can be served immediately or can be refrigerated for later use. Enjoy the classic Cajun flavors in a gluten-free way!
