re: boudin help

presumably you are slow simmering the meat in a pot of water, where you add seasonings and aromatics, to get it ready for grinding. if so, reserve some of that liquid. after you mix the chopped/ground meat, vegetables, and rice together in the bowl, add some of this liquid into the mixture until you reach the desired level of moisture. keep track of how much liquid you add, and you can adjust in future batches until you get it to where you want.

i could drink a bowl full of that liquid when i'm done cooking down the meat for grinding. stuff is delicious.
