Had some pork steaks laying around without a home so I was down to my last two links of the smoked Boudin I did before;

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/155029/boudin-the-cajun-burito

The NCAA regionals are starting up so I didn't want to be caught short! These are the normal sized for when I run out of the ones I made for me or if anyone else wants one.


These are for me, I didn't realize I grabbed two different sized casing!


I really liked the smoked boudin last time, it was my first time. But after freezing the smoked boudin when I took it out and cooked it, it was mushy insides. So this time used a dryer long grain rice. These babies are dry!

So what channel is the game on?

Thanks for checking 'em out. The above link shows how they were made. Any questions or comments, just ask.

I am soooo glad Stoney Brook is playing this year!! ROFLMAO!
 
None of the LSU Regional is on TV espn3. Puter or phone only . and radio.
 
Looks awesome Foam, if ya need a taste tester.... I'll p.m. ya my address ! LOL. Seriously looks real good ! :sausage:
 
Looks great, Kevin. However, I had heard the custom in Louisiana was to fast and drink only water while watching sports.

Thank you too sir. You know next time I bet I go back and read the prior smokes notes first. What's the point in making 'em if you don't use 'em.....LOL
 
Foamheart, that is something I really want to make and yours looks delicious!     When you say you used a drier long grain rice, does that mean that you cooked it a shorter time or is it a different kind of rice.     What brand of rice do you use?     Thanks, whistech
 
 
Nice Job, Foamy!!!

Thank you Bear, I wish you were just a weeeeeee bit closer to have some.
 
Looking good Foam. Hope you're enjoying the games. I'll be thinking about that Boudin while eating corn dogs while at the game tonight.
No tailgate? I am sitting here watching the plays via the CWS gamecast. Its lacks a lot of the excitement. Cecil, you remember when kids listening to the LSU games on the radio. I thought about that today when looking for the radio station.

I didn't read my last set of note before making this batch, and I put way too much flavor in the rice. I like the rice plain to offset the liver and meat in the boudin. But I always forget and put way too much of the used boiling stock in the rice.  But it won't last long.

Its 3 to 1, Geaux Tiggers!

I use rice rice. No boiling bag or minute rice. Where I am the basic two are Water Maid medium grain and Mahatma long grain. Both have their uses. Long grain cooks drier than medium grain. Why? It has less gluten which grabs hold and keeps the water when hydrating. Rule of thumb, the shorter the grain the more gluten, and the stickier the end result. I also cooked it a bit longer to evaporate out more of the fluid.

Medium grain you use with soups, gumbos, etc.  where you'll put something fluid in a bowl with it. Long grain you use for meals where you will be cooking out dry (evaporating), like Jambalaya or casseroles etc. '

Last time when I smoked the boudin the rice mixture was too wet, this time I went to far the other way and its way too dry. Plus I used some left over casing pieces to stuff and the dryed and became sticky and I over filled the casing because they were too dry. When I tried to cook some they all exploded. Its ok, next time, if I will just read these silly notes I should have it just right. Just little things I didn't think about is all.

Its really a great thing to have laying around, it beats the pants off a hot pocket or some other type snack, it also mades a great plate with cheese and crackers, maybe some  head cheese and cracklins, when drinking beer at the camp watching or at the game.

 Don't feel bad my friend. last batch i tried to cheat and used a rice cooker.  Made 30 lbs of boudin. When i put it in the steamer to cook the casings the rice from the rice cooker was not done so the steam made it swell busting every casing. Big steamer pot of very tasty mush.

You know, we know what we want to achieve, it shouldn't require so much thought to get there! <Chuckles>

Although, I am zeroing in on my recipe. Its not like we are losing anything but time while honing our skills.
 
Boudin is basically already cooked when its made. You can heat it up with the microwave, the smoker, a low grill, nearly anyway you like so long as you don't break the casing (and if you break the casing you have boudin balls!).

I am ready for the game!


This was fried low and slow in lard, gives the casing a crunch! Cold longneck or a festive cocktail and you are ready to shout for your team.
