I've had a hankering for some fresh Boudin. I've made sausage, hot links. bologna and salami but not Boudin.
Found a good looking Recipe online and here we go.
First, I didn't take Pics of every single step but I got the main ones.


BOUDIN
INGREDIENTS
5 pounds pork butt, cut into 1-inch cubes

2-pounds pork or chicken liver, rinsed in cool water

4 quarts water

2 cup chopped onions

2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 cup chopped green bell peppers

1 cup chopped celery

8 teaspoons salt

5 teaspoons cayenne

3 teaspoons ground black pepper

2 cup finely chopped parsley

2 cup chopped green onions tops, (green part only)

12 cups cooked medium-grain rice

1 1/2-inch diameter, casings, about 4 feet in length



DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, combine the pork butt, liver, water, onions, garlic, bell peppers, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork and liver are tender.

NOTE: If using chicken livers wait until the last 10 min. to add the livers. Cooking them to long turns them to mush

Remove from the heat and drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the broth. Using a meat grinder with a 1/4-inch die, grind the pork mixture, 1/2 cup of the parsley and 1/2 cup of the green onions together.

Turn the mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in the rice, remaining salt, cayenne, black pepper, parsley, and green onions. Add the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix thoroughly.

Stuff the sausage into the casings and make links, or roll into balls.

Started with about an 8 lb pork butt, de-boned, trimmed and cut it into 1 in. chunks. (I cleaned it good removing all the sinew, jelly fat and as much fat as I could.
Cleaned the Chicken Livers thoroughly as well

Veggies and pork into the pot of boiling water till just about tender, then I add the Chicken Livers, Let it go for about 10 more min.
Dipped all the meat and livers out and let cool, then into a zip-lock till tomorrow. Retained about a quart of liquid also.
Next morning cooked and cooled 12 cups of rice.
After Rice was cool I got out my grinder and stuffer,
Mixed 1 cup each of the green onion tops and parsley into the meat mixture.
Ran that through my grinder using the 1/4 " plate
Mixed meat, rice, remaining green onions, parsley and seasoning.
Filled Stuffer, put hog casings on tube and ready to go.



I ended up with almost 6 pounds of pork Oh Well

The links look great Gary, a balanced meal in a casing! Like, RAY
 
Very nice looking sausage! Anything with chicken liver is delcious to me!!
 
Looks amazing. I’ve been craving boudin for a while now. I’ll have to give this recipe a try.
 
Thanks Guys, It's about like making any other sausage, takes a little time, but worth it in the end.
And one thing I have is plenty of time. Another thing about making your own (anything) you know exactly whats in it.
