Boudin Balls

Method

Boudin Balls Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the boudin sausage, cooked white rice, chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape Boudin Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Set aside on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare the breading station: In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Bread the Boudin Balls

    Take each boudin ball, roll it in the flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Place the breaded balls back on the baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Fry Boudin Balls

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the boudin balls in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  6. 6

    Drain Fried Boudin Balls

    Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Remoulade Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix Remoulade Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Whisk until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and hot sauce to taste.

  3. 9

    Chill Remoulade

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
