Chophouse Boudin Noir:
Ingredients
:
½ Gallon Pork Blood
3 Lbs. Pork Butt
½ Lb. Pork Fat
2 Each Chopped Spanish Onion
2 Cups Cooked Steel Irish Oats
38 Grams Kosher Salt
6 Grams Instacure #1
6 Grams Ground Black Pepper
6 Grams Ground Bay Leaves
1 Bunch Chopped Parsley
30 Grams Sweet Paprika

Method of Preparation:
1. Cook chopped onions until tender. Add steel oats and deglaze with white wine. Add chicken stock and simmer until oats have absorbed all the liquid and tender.
2. Freeze pork fat
3. Mix all spices and set aside
4. Cut pork into 1 to 2 inch strips—coat pork with spice mixture and chill.
5. Chill everything: grinder parts, sausage stuffer parts, and especially the meat, fat, and blood. I put everything in the freezer for couple hours.
6. With a course die, grind the meat, then the fat (separately) and set aside in cooler.
7. In a large mixing bowl add all the meat and fat—mix with paddle on low until fully incorporated.
8. Slowly add the pork blood until “pancake-like” consistency. For a firm sausage add ½ the pork blood. When it is at the consistency you prefer put it in the cooler and clean up--- set up sausage stuffer.
9. Before stuffing casings set up a large pot of water for blanching. Heat to a constant temperature of 180 °
10. Pour mixture in to sausage stuffer and begin making your sausage.  Each link needs to be tied because it is very loose inside. 
11. Blanch each link in 180° water until temperature of sausage is 155° internal.
12. Shock sausage in ice water to stop cooking.
