- I used pork casings for this sausage. You have to let them over night to soak in water mixed with vinegar. After that turn them inside out and remove the extra skins you find.
- Cut the meat and organs in chunks. Mince them using a meat grinder.

- You can add one or two cups of pork stock to make sure the mixture isn't too dry.
- Roll one casing on the funnel for stuffing sausages on the meat grinder. It has to be a thick funnel if you use big casings.

- Tie the casing at one end and start filling. Don't overfill because the casing might break when boiling.
- Tie it at the other end put them to boil in the pork stock, for 20 minutes so the casing cooks as well.

- After that let the boudin sausages over night to press with a weight on them. I put them between two wood boards with a pot filled with water in top.
