Steps:

• If using just the pork chunks, place them in a heavy 4-5 quart casserole and add enough water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and skim off the foam and scum that rises to the surface. Add 2 cups of onion, the bay leaf, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hours. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chunks of pork to a plate. If using the pork and chicken combo, cut in one-inch chunks and put through a meat grinder. If using the boiled pork chunks, put them, along with the remaining 2 cups of onions, the green pepper, parsley, green onions and garlic through the medium blade of a food grinder and place the mixture in a deep bowl. Add the rice, coriander, sage, cayenne, white and black pepper and the remaining 4 teaspoons of salt. Knead vigorously with both hands until all ingredients and evenly blended. Taste for seasoning. Stuff sausage into casings. Refrigerate for 3-4 days, turning each day to let the sausages dry and cure. Freeze what is not going to be used within a week.

Steps:

• Cut the pork steak and liver into 2 inch pieces and place in a large saucepan, along with the onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Cover with cold water by 1 1/2 inches. Season well with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer, skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Simmer for about 1 hour or until the meat is very tender. Remove the bay leaves, and thyme, then strain the solids from the broth, reserve the broth.
• Grind the meats and cooked onion and garlic while they're still hot, you could also chop this by hand.
• For the Rice:.
• In a saucepan with a lid, combine the rice with 3 Cups of the reserved broth. Taste the broth for seasoning, if necessary season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then down to very low heat and cover. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• When the rice is cooked, combine it with the ground meat mixture, green onions, and parsley. Mix thoroughly and season to taste with Kosher salt, black pepper, and Cayenne.
• Stuff into prepared hog casings , or form into patties or balls for pan frying.
• To heat the stuffed Boudin sausages, either poach them in water between 165-185 degrees F, or brush the casings with a little oil and bake in a 400 degree oven until heated through and the skins are crispy. When I poach them, I take the Boudin out of the casings to eat it because they become rubbery.
