Boudin tonight

AZRP · February 2008

I pulled a couple packs of homemade boudin out of the freezer and thawed it out.

Put it in the steamer for 15 minutes, not to cook it because boudin is well done before it gets stuffed in the casings. The steaming is to soften the casings, when I go straight to the grill, the casings are very tough. The same is true with Italian sausage and brats, if I simmer them first, the casings almost melt, straight to the grill without simmering and they are tough.

On to the small, to get pretty.

Not only were they pretty, they didn't suck. -RP

AZRP,

Man, boudain is my favourite sausage. We just can't get it in Canada and what you get in Michigan and Upstate New York is already smoked. I need to go back to Breaux Bridge this year.

Your looks eggtastic. Did a batch 4-5 years ago and it was too ricy/mushy. Care to share a recipe?

AZRP · February 2008

I just googled it and kind of picked the most common things among about 10 recipes and went from there. If you check the archives, I did a pictorial a year or so ago on how to make it. -RP

Can't get it here either. I had never seen it or tasted it, but learned to make it from google. -RP

Your sausage making ability inspires me. Learning to make it is high on my list of retirement to-dos. Any thought of making a tutorial on the Whiz’s site?

I helped Doug a little with his paella exploits, but I don't know that sausage making is really unique to BGE. There is a world of info on the net as far as sausage making, I try to keep it interesting to Eggers because its fun things that I've played with. -RP
