Number Of Ingredients 26

SAUSAGE BALLS
2 lb pork boudin sausage
3 large eggs
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
SEASONED FLOUR
2 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
EGG WASH
4 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
BREAD CRUMB COATING
2 c plain bread crumbs
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 Tbsp Tony Chachere's original Creole seasoning
CREOLE DIPPING SAUCE
1 c real mayonnaise
4 Tbsp mustard, spicy brown
2 Tbsp fresh garlic minced
1 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, add the mayo and mustard; whisk till mixed well. Add the garlic and cayenne, whisking very well. Cover with a lid and store in the fridge so the flavors will marry together.
  • 2. In a large bowl, cut the casings off of the boudin and take out the sausage within. Throw away the casings. Add the eggs, flour, garlic, and parsley mixing well; set aside. If this mixture still looks real moist, you can add more flour, a little at a time, until it takes on a thick consistency. Wash hands thoroughly.
  • 3. In a pie dish, mix the ingredients for the seasoned flour whisking well; set aside.
  • 4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the egg wash making sure they are blended well; set aside.
  • 5. In a pie plate, whisk together all the ingredients for the bread crumb coating; set aside.
  • 6. With damp hands, shape the boudin into balls the size of unshelled walnuts, about 2 tablespoons each. Make sure they are tightly packed. You might have to squeeze some moisture out of them and that is fine. Dredge the balls in the flour, and then dip them in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Finally, dredge the balls in the bread crumbs, turning to coat them evenly. You will need to rinse off your hands after every 2 or so boudin balls but it is so worth the time.
  • 7. Transfer the boudin balls to a greased baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • 8. Pre-heat corn oil in a deep fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Using a slotted spoon and working in batches, slide the balls gently into the oil and fry until a dark golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on the prepared baking sheet. Let them cool before serving.
  • 9. Serve the boudin balls hot or warm, with the Creole dipping sauce alongside. Hope you enjoy these treasures as much as we do. ;)

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pkg manda's boudin
2 eggs
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 c buttermilk
1 1/2 c seasoned breadcrumbs
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Puncture the platic boudin wrapping with a knife and place packages on a plate. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl beat eggs well. Remove boudin from package and carefully remove casing from the filling. Add rice mixture to the eggs and mix well. Form into small balls and place on a waxed paper lined baking pan.
  • 3. Set out flour, buttermilk and breadcrumbs in three seperate bowls. Dredge each ball in flour, then in buttermilk, and roll in breadcrumbs to coat. Repeat this process until all balls have been prepared.
  • 4. Deep fry balls, without overcrowding skillet or fryer, in oil at 350 degrees for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on another baking pan thickly lined with paper towels. *At this point you can put the balls on a waxed papper lined baking pan and set into freezer for a few hours. Transfer balls to a zip close freezer bag and save until ready to eat.
  • 5. Serve hot with honey dijon mustard or my orange pepper jelly. *To reheat from frozen, pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Put boudin balls on baking pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Cook for 20 minutes and serve hot. *Note: If you find the boudin to be too spicy and want to tame it down a bit, add some extra cooked white rice to the mixture before forming into balls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Boudin balls are best made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your boudin balls are flavorful and delicious.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the boudin balls tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the boudin balls in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy outer shell and a tender, juicy interior.
  • Serve the boudin balls hot. Boudin balls are best served hot out of the fryer. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Boudin balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious boudin balls that your family and friends will love.
