Description

Today I smoked up my take on the Cajun staple, Boudin Sausage!

Ingredients

  • White rice
  • Tony's seasoning (or preferred Cajun seasoning)
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • Handful of celery, diced
  • 2 jalapeños, diced
  • 1 stick of butter
  • Garlic cloves
  • Chicken liver
  • Leftover brisket, cubed
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Water or beer (optional, for moisture adjustment)

Instructions

-Start by cooking white rice in a rice maker according to package instructions. Season the rice with Tony's seasoning or your preferred Cajun seasoning for added flavor.

-In a saucepan, melt the stick of butter and add diced onion, green pepper, celery, and jalapeños. Sprinkle with some Tony's seasoning and cook until softened.

-Once the vegetables have softened, remove from heat and add a couple of cloves of garlic. Let the garlic cook in the residual heat.

-Fire up your grill and cook the chicken livers over direct heat for about 20-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Place the cooked chicken livers in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.

-Cube the frozen leftover brisket from a previous cook so that it fits into a meat grinder.

-Pass the cubed brisket, cooked vegetables, and chilled chicken livers through the meat grinder to achieve a cohesive texture.

-In a mixing bowl, combine the ground brisket, vegetables, chicken livers, and cooked rice. -Adjust the rice-to-meat ratio to your preference. Mix well.

-Add chopped green onions to the mixture and mix with your hands, kneading it for a bit until you achieve a sticky, clumpy texture. If the mixture feels too dry, you can add water or beer to moisten it.

-Time to case the sausage. 

-It's important to case the sausages when the mixture is warm or at room temperature to prevent clumping. 

-Use sausage casings and create links of your desired size. 

(*If you prefer, you can also freeze the sausages at this stage for long-term storage.*)

-Preheat your smoker to 250-275 degrees Fahrenheit (120-135 degrees Celsius) and place a few sausage links on the smoker grates.

-Since all the ingredients are already cooked, the goal is to crisp up the outer skin. Smoke the sausages for approximately 20-30 minutes.

-Once the sausages have reached the desired level of crispness, remove them from the smoker.

-Slice up and dive in!

Note: Adjust the seasoning and spice levels according to your taste preferences. Feel free to experiment and make the recipe your own by adding additional ingredients or adjusting the ratios.
