Instructions

Step 1: Preheat smoker to 225°F with wood chips of your choice. Place 4 boudin sausages on the smoker grate, smoke for 1.5 hours until heated through and smoky aroma fills the kitchen.
Step 2: While sausages smoke, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 1 diced green bell pepper, and 2 diced celery stalks; sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning; cook for 1 minute until spices bloom.
Step 4: Add 1 cup long grain white rice and toast with vegetables for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 5: Pour in 2 cups chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18 minutes until rice is tender and broth absorbed.
Step 6: Remove rice from heat; stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and 1 tbsp lemon juice for brightness.
Step 7: Slice smoked boudin sausages into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve atop or alongside the Cajun rice pilaf.
