Luckily, the authentic mix of pork, rice and veggies is easy to make at home. Here is a note on all of the ingredients you\u2019ll need. You can find exact measurements in the recipe card below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pork Sausage:<\/strong> If you\u2019re using sausage in a casing, be sure to remove this before cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green Bell Pepper: <\/strong>Diced and saut\u00e9ed with the other veggies, green bell pepper adds color, flavor and texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow Onion:<\/strong> Adds a savory depth of flavor to each bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celery:<\/strong> Balances the other savory veggies with a slight sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice:<\/strong> Traditional boudin sausage includes rice. However, if you choose to use pork sausage, you\u2019ll need to add 1\u00a0cup\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/instant-pot-rice\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">cooked rice<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cajun Seasoning:<\/strong> For that authentic cajun flavor, you can add store-bought cajun seasoning or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/cajun-seasoning\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade cajun seasoning<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> Use all-purpose flour for a nice crispy breading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paprika:<\/strong> Along with salt &amp; pepper, paprika adds flavor to the breading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Helps the breading mixture stick to the sausage balls and will result in a golden crust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breadcrumbs:<\/strong> We recommend panko bread crumbs for maximum crispiness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:<\/strong> Use any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil for frying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-this-recipe\">How to Make This Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>Kind of like a fried meatball, get ready to be obsessed with everything about this delicious southern snack! These are best served hot and crispy with a side sauce for dipping. Here\u2019s how they come together:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cook the Sausage and Veggies:<\/strong> In a skillet over medium high heat, cook the sausage, bell pepper, onion, and celery until the sausage is fully cooked. Remove from heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blend Sausage with Veggies:<\/strong> Place the sausage and vegetables into a food processor or blender and pulse until it is mostly pureed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chill and Make Balls:<\/strong> Mix the rice and 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 \u00bd to 2 inch balls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dredging Station:<\/strong> Set up a dredging station, whisk the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a second shallow dish, pour the panko breadcrumbs into the third dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bread the Balls:<\/strong> Working a couple 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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fry:<\/strong> Heat enough oil to submerge the balls in over medium high heat (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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool and Serve:<\/strong> Place the cooked balls onto paper towels to absorb any excess oil, let them cool a few minutes then enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246135\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/boudin-balls\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Boudin Balls\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-1200x1200.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls.png 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-150x150.png 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-1200x1200.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-1200x1200.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246135\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/boudin-balls\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Boudin Balls\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-1200x1200.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls.png 1200w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/boudin-balls-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips cwp-large\"><!-- .block-quick-tips__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-quick-tips__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-tips\">Quick Tips <\/h3>\n<p>This boudin balls recipe is really very easy to make, but here are some tips so these cajun snack balls turn out wonderfully delicious!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boudin Sausage:<\/strong> Traditional boudin balls are made with boudin sausage, which is not easily available in all regions.

Remove from heat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-245759-step-0-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Place the sausage and vegetables into a food processor or blender and pulse until it is mostly pureed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-245759-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Mix the rice and 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 \u00bd to 2 inch balls.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-245759-step-0-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Set up a dredging station, whisk the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a shallow dish.

Set the breaded boudin balls aside.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-245759-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Heat enough oil to submerge the balls in over medium high heat (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.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-245759-step-0-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Place the cooked balls onto paper towels to absorb any excess oil, let them cool a few minutes then enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.<br \/>Traditional boudin balls are made with boudin sausage, which is not easily available in all regions. If you have boudin sausage where you live I suggest using that instead of making my easy version of it. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;\">I like to use a fry daddy for recipes like this, but you can use a deep pan on the stove, if the balls cannot be fully submerged, just cook them on each side for about 3-5 minutes. They should still be an even golden brown. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;\">A few of my favorite dipping sauces to serve with these are Comeback Sauce, Remoulade Sauce, or Garlic Aioli <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;\">My balls were about 1 \u00bd inches and I was able to get 22 balls from this recipe, depending on the size of your balls you may get more or less.
