Friend wants me to make boudin balls Saturday. I have plenty of Don's boudin, but have never done it. Anybody have a good recipe? Any sauces to go with it? I usually eat boudin "straight up", so I'm a little lost.

Speak, F&B people...!

TIA

I take it there's some F&B code against boudin balls or something?

Oh well, I'm not a big fan, but he likes them, was gonna try.

I made some last year using Nunu's boudin and they tasted phenomenal. It was simple... Cut the cold boudin out of the casing, dipped it in a seasoned egg & milk batter, dipped in flower then fried at 350 until golden brown.

Everyone loved em

Eta: Im sure some will consider it cheating but it's the only way I knew.

Go to Tony's, buy them raw, roll in bread crumb and fry, no reason to try it yourself when it has already been perfected

No Tony's in Nashville, so Don's will have to do. I have a deep fryer, so I think I can do this. Thanks for the tips!

They ship , but Don's makes a great boudin link, if you already have it make it work

I'm curious if you had to go outside your cooking box and make them on your own how would you go about making them?

Well, don't know what my "cooking box" is, but I was gonna try the "flour/egg wash/seasoned bread crumb at 375" route. Looks like I was on the right track

Well I have made them once like said above and it didn't come out right and I now know why. I have a built in fryer outside so I had to figure it out. I buy them in the frozen section at Tonys and keep a few bags in my freezer. When ready I heat the oil to 350 and drop the FROZEN boudin balls into the oil for five minutes. Perfect. No need for me to try to make them again.

So my tip to you is buy frozen from Tonys and keep frozen. If you don't have access to Tonys, make the suggested above and freeze. Then cook for five minutes. Frozen is the key. They will not fall apart.

Interesting, I thought there was corn meal involved as well. Never made em myself but, I've been told to use a 50/50 flour corn meal mixture.

You can batter them with whatever you want really. I used to use flower.

Like Martini said, cooking them frozen will keep it from falling or breaking apart. Just make sure you cook them long enough so they are cooked and not somewhat frozen in the middle. Tony's boudin balls are smaller so they are easier to cook. Some of the other brands are larger and you have to cook them longer.
