Boudin Balls Are A Traditional Louisiana Cuisine Filled With Deliciousness
By Cristine Struble
It's easy to be overwhelmed with Louisiana cuisine choices, but if you want a snack that can satisfy your big cravings, boudin balls will not disappoint.
Boudin balls are made from boudin "sausage," a combination of seasoned ground pork and cooked rice. They are usually enjoyed as an appetizer, breakfast, or snack.
Although they might appear simple on the surface, the flavors are quite complex, and making boudin balls from scratch can be an exacting, time-consuming process.
Basic boudin ball recipes call for boudin sausage to be removed from its casings and shaped into small balls, which are coated in flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned breadcrumbs.
They are then fried in oil and typically served with a dipping sauce, such as a traditional remoulade recipe or a spicy Cajun mustard.
Boudin balls might not be the most talked about traditional Louisiana cuisine, but a trip to the bayou state would not be complete without trying this Louisiana icon.
