Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed pork shoulder, pork liver, chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, minced garlic, cooked white rice, kosher salt, paprika, black pepper, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pass the mixture through a meat grinder with a sausage stuffing attachment into another mixing bowl. Alternatively, you can use pre-ground meat and mix in the ingredients by hand.
If using hog casings, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften.
If using casings, attach them to the sausage stuffing attachment and begin stuffing the sausage mixture. Twist the sausage into 4-inch links and tie off the ends. If not using casings, shape the mixture into sausage patties and set aside.
If using casings, use a sausage pricker to remove any air bubbles and ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, bring water to a gentle simmer (around 170°F or 75°C). Carefully place the sausages in the water and poach them for about 30 minutes until cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and sear the sausages for a few minutes on each side until nicely browned.
Serve the Cajun Boudin hot, sliced, and accompanied by your favorite sides or enjoy them in a variety of recipes.
