GETTING READY

1.  In a large pot, combine onion, celery, garlic, jalapeno pepper, pablano pepper, pork shoulder and chicken liver. Add in the kosher salt, cayenne pepper, cajun seasoning and black pepper. Mix well to combine everything. Place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

4.  Strain the boudin retaining the liquid. Transfer the pork mixture back into the pot.

5.  Add italian parsley, green onion and cooked rice to the pork mixture. Stir to combine.

6.  Pass the pork and rice mixture through a meat grinder. Pour in some retained broth in which the pork was cooked to adjust the consistency. Place in the refrigerator for two hours.

7.  Place flour, egg wash and panko bread crumbs on a work surface. Prepare an even sized ball with the boudin mixture and roll it in flour. Dip each ball in the egg wash and then coat with panko crumbs. Set aside. Repeat with the remaining boudin mixture.
