Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- ¼ yellow onion, diced
- 1 celery rib, diced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 pound pork sausage, then add the diced 1 green bell pepper, ¼ yellow onion, and 1 celery rib,. Cook until the sausage is fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Place the sausage and vegetables into a food processor or blender and pulse until it is mostly pureed.
- Mix 1 cup cooked rice and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning into the pureed sausage. Chill the sausage in the fridge for about an hour so it firms up. Form the sausage into tight, 1 ½-2 inch balls.
- Set up a dredging station. Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika together in a shallow dish. Beat the 2 large eggs in a second shallow dish. Pour the 1 cup panko breadcrumbs into the third dish.
- Working a couple of balls at a time, roll them in the flour first, then dredge in the eggs and move to the breadcrumbs, ensuring the sausage balls are completely covered. Set the breaded boudin balls aside.
- Heat enough Oil for frying to submerge the balls. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oil has come up to temp, fry the boudin balls until they are evenly golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Work in batches to keep the balls from crowding.
- Place the cooked balls on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
