Boudin Cajun Sausage

I heard about Feufollet and Boudin (Cajun sausage) on NPR and wanted to know how to make it. I’m a firm believer in tasting what’s truly authentic and then making it my own.

What is Boudin? According to the Boudin Link all the folks in “South Louisiana know [that] Cajun boudin sausage is a delicious blend of rice, pork, and spices injected into a natural casing and served everywhere from the fanciest restaurants to gas stations in the country.” Additional* ingredients that may be added are shrimp, crawdads, alligator, liver, and onions. That is, add “everything except the squeak.” Note: certain ingredients may be in short supply in your area, namely alligator.

As I’m nowhere near South Louisiana I’ll have to wait until Mardi Gras, or the next time I’m down that way. Until then it’s linguiça and chorizo. Or my version of Boudin (without the squeak).
