Boudin Blanc (or "white Boudin") is a wonderful Cajun sausage stuffed with pork and rice. Boudin Blanc is a white sausage made with pork but no blood. The rice was meant to stretch the meat in frugal times. Now, it's a unique and delicious treat all on it's own.

Preparation
Step 1
If using just the pork chunks, place them in a heavy 4-5 quart casserole and add enough water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and skim off the foam and scum that rises to the surface. Add 2 cups of onion, the bay leaf, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hours. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chunks of pork to a plate.
If using the pork and chicken combo, cut in one-inch chunks and put through a meat grinder.
If using the boiled pork chunks, put them, along with the remaining 2 cups of onions, the green pepper, parsley, green onions and garlic through the medium blade of a food grinder and place the mixture in a deep bowl.
Add the rice, coriander, sage, cayenne, white and black pepper and the remaining 4 teaspoons of salt.
Knead vigorously with both hands until all ingredients and evenly blended. Taste for seasoning.
Stuff sausage into casings. Refrigerate for 3-4 days, turning each day to let the sausages dry and cure. Freeze what is not going to be used within a week.
