Cauliflower Rice Boudin

I got a craving for boudin after reading a few posts & watching a couple of YouTube videos. Not wanting to eat rice, I substituted cauliflower rice, complete culinary blasphemy.

I started off by popping a 12oz piece of pork butt,a 10oz piece of skinless pork belly, & 6oz chicken livers into the instant pot with 1 bay leaf, 6 cloves of garlic & 1/2 cup of water, set on high pressure for 45 minutes, natural release.

After the pressure float valve fell, I removed the pork, & garlic and added 2x 12oz bags of cauliflower rice & returned the lid. There was still enough heat to gently cook the cauliflower.

Then I shredded the cooked meat, livers & smashed the cooked garlic, added chopped green onions & slap ya momma. By this time the cauliflower was done & had absorbed a good amount of the cooking liquid.

I discarded the bay leaf & added the cauliflower rice & liquid to the meat mixture and adjusted the seasoning with more salt, SYM, & black pepper.

Its not pretty to look at but it tastes good.


Decided to make a few boudin balls in the air fryer with almond & gluten free flour.


Paired it with a sauce of Dijon, mayo, & Louisiana hot sauce.


After eating a bit, I packaged the rest up in 8oz chubs for the freezer.


Overall, the flavor was good and satisfied my craving but, the rice was definitely missed.
