Ingredients
- 8 oz, sliced brisket boudin sausage
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup, fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Creole seasoning
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and water absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a blender, combine 1 cup corn kernels, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Pour the corn mixture into a greased small baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Step 4: While the corn pudding bakes, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced brisket boudin and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through.
- Step 5: Mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tbsp hot sauce, 1 tsp Creole seasoning, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl to create a spicy Creole sauce.
- Step 6: To assemble, spoon cooked jasmine rice into bowls, top with warm brisket boudin slices, a scoop of corn pudding, and drizzle with the spicy Creole sauce. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and serve immediately.
