Ingredients

  • 2-½ lb Pork Shoulder Roast chopped into 1" cubes
  • 1 lb Pork Liver rinsed
  • 2 Quarts Chicken Broth
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion chopped
  • 4 Garlic Cloves chopped
  • ½ Green Bell Pepper deseeded and chopped
  • 2 Celery Stalks chopped
  • 1 Cup Fresh Parsley chopped and divided
  • 1 Cup Green Onions chopped and divided
  • 4 Bay Leaves
  • 6 Cups Long Grain Rice cooked
  • 1 Teaspoon Oregano
  • 4 Teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1-½ Teaspoons Black Pepper
  • Sausage Casings

Instructions

  • Add the chopped pork roast, the rinsed livers, onions, garlic, bay leaves, bell pepper, celery, ½ cup of the green onions and ½ cup of the parsley into a heavy bottomed pot (I like a Dutch Oven for this).
  • Pour in the chicken broth, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 2 hours (no less).
  • Remove the bay leaves then using a slotted spoon remove the ingredients to a tray to allow to cool. Reserve 1-½ Cups of the broth for later.
  • Once cooled, push through a meat grinder using a ¼" die, into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cooked rice, oregano, salt, cayenne, pepper, remaining green onions and parsley. Mix well until combined. Stir in most (if not all) of the reserved broth. The mixture should be nice and moist.
  • Place a sausage casing over a pipe being used to form your sausages and push the mixture through to form your sausages. Twist and tie.
  • Cook the sausage per your favorite method.

Notes

I like to use the natural hog casings when making my boudin sausage. Make sure you have allowed the casings to soak for long enough and rinse all that salt off there.
Push the casing all the way back up the tube, filling the casing can be tricky if you don't do this.
