BOUDIN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• For the boudin: Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Add the chicken livers.
• Mix the cayenne, thyme, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, pink salt if using and white pepper together in a separate small bowl, and then add to the pork and chicken livers.
• Cut the celery, jalapeno peppers, poblano pepper and onion into 1-inch cubes. Add to the meat and spice mixture. Use your hands to mix everything together. Let sit for a minimum of 12 hours in the refrigerator.
• Once the meat has marinated, place into a large pot and cover with 6 cups of water. Let simmer until the pork is tender and easy to shred, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Bring 3 cups water, the butter and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add the rice, stir, cover with foil or a lid, turn all the way to low and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the pork and vegetables from the braising liquid, saving the liquid. Add to a large mixing bowl (or a large standing mixer with the paddle attachment) and mix until it is mostly shredded and sticking together. This process must be done while the meat is still fairly hot (see Cook's Note). Add the green onions and rice to the meat mixture. Slowly add in the reserved liquid; you may not need all of it. It should be moist but not wet. Once mixed together, spread out on a sheet tray and let cool.
• For the sriracha mayo: Mix the mayo and sriracha in a small bowl until combined.
• For the boudin egg rolls: Make a 2- to 3-ounce patty out of the boudin. Place a stick of cheese on the patty and roll it around the cheese to form a cigar-like shape. Place on a corner of a wonton wrapper. Roll and fold the wrapper like you would any egg roll, using the beaten egg to seal it. Repeat with the remaining boudin, cheese and wrappers.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden, 5 to 8 minutes per batch. Let cool and enjoy! Serve with sriracha mayo for dipping.

CAJUN EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning together in a small bowl until smooth. Spread over both slices of toasted bread.
• Place andouille sausage in a skillet, cut-side down. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer andouille to one slice of bread, leaving a small space in between the halves as a "raft" to hold the egg in place.
• Heat oil in the same skillet for 1 minute over medium heat. Crack egg into the skillet and let cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes more. Place fried egg on top of the andouille and cover with the second slice of bread.

CAJUN CORNBREAD STUFFING EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the butter. Once melted, add the Andouille sausage and cook, stirring often, until rendered and crispy. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 8 minutes. Season with the Cajun seasoning.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add the crumbled cornbread, stuffing mix, and chicken stock. Mix until well combined. If the mixture appears to be too dry, add a bit more chicken stock. Let cool completely.
• Working with one egg roll wrapper at a time, lay it down so a point is facing you and it looks like a diamond. Fill the center with about 2 tablespoons of stuffing. Then bring the two side points into the center and roll into a tight log. Seal the end with a bit of water mixed with the cornstarch. Continue filling and rolling the rest until all the stuffing has been used.
• Fill a heavy-duty Dutch oven about halfway up with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the egg rolls in batches, until golden brown and crispy all around, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with gravy for dipping!

Add 2 tablespoons of filling about an inch from the lower corner of the egg wrapper. Fold up the corner of the triangle with the filling and tuck it against the filler so that the wrapper is over the filling. Fold in the sides of the wrapper to the ends of the filling. Dab top corner with a bit of raw egg at the top corner. Roll the filling upwards to the dab of egg and press end to the roll to seal.

Cook and stir until sauce is thick and bubbly. Add cooked vegetables to the wok. Stir all ingredients together to coat with sauce. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or till heated through. Remove from skillet; cool. When the filling is cooled, make the egg rolls. I will set myself up at the table with my filling, my wrappers, a small bowl with water in it, a spoon. Separate one wrapper. Put in the meat. Don't fill them too much. Put about 1 1/2 tsp. in the wrapper. Spread it out. Wrap it and seal the edge with water. (See wrapper cartons for directions in filling them.) Fry egg rolls in about 2 inches of cooking oil in the wok. Watch them very carefully. They burn easily. Serve with a sweet and sour sauce.

BIG EASY EGGROLLS W/ CREOLE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Add olive oil to a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Add celery, chopped onion, and chopped bell pepper. Cook until they just begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low and add diced andouille sausage. If you can't find andouille, use a flavorful kielbasa pork sausage in its place. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sausage renders some of its fat.
• 2. Add cooked chicken breast. When the chicken is warmed through, add the following ingredients: green onions, cream cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Stir until the cream cheese an seasonings are evenly melted and incorporated into the mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 3. Set egg roll wrapper on a large plate, in the shape of a diamond -- with the pointed ends up. Place 1/3 cup of the filling in the lower half of the wrapper. Fold the sides in over the filling, then roll the wrapper over the filling, away from you...tucking as you go. Brush the inside of the wrap with water as your roll tightly...this will give you a nice tight seal. Seal the edges with more water and lay seam side down. Repeat the process with 4-5 more wrappers.
• 4. Heat oil in a skillet with high sides over med-high heat for about 5 minutes. When the oil is hot, cook the egg rolls. Avoid crowding, which causes soggy egg rolls. Cook until golden-brown, then flip over and cook until the other side is browned. Drain well on paper towels and set aside while you make the dipping sauce.
• 5. Make the dipping sauce by combining the following ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine all the ingredients. To serve, place the egg rolls on a serving platter...along with a bowl of the creamy dipping sauce.
