Cooking Tips & Recipes
Poach:
In a stockpot, lightly season water with any Cajun seasoning blend, and bring to a boil. Place boudin links in water, and bring up the water again to nearly boiling. Casing tend to burst if you boil them on a full boil. Continue to cook, uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes. Place the links onto a platter, and let them cool a little before eating or slicing the links into bite-sized pieces.
Microwave:
Heat on high for 2 minutes, turn over, heat for another minute. Let cool before eating or slicing.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees, place links on an oiled cookie sheet for 20 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes, for a crispy skin.
Grilling:
On a gas or charcoal grill, oil the boudin link with a little vegetable oil, and cook over a medium-hot grill, turning often until the coating is crispy and the boudin link is hot and steamy (at least 160 degrees).
