Boudin Blanc




This Tasty white pork sausage indigenous to France, Belgium and creole areas of our country is one of my favorite delectable treats to make on a Sunday afternoon or at 2am after a long dinner service on a Saturday night..there are many variations of this recipe most of time always including pork and chicken. I like to keep it simple as you'll see in the recipe to follow. Serve this up with some caramelized apples, braised cabbage and keep it classic or get innovative and throw down a yellow beet and camapri  gel, with lemon balm and dried olive.. whatever you decide it will please any guest who enjoys a good tubesteak...
