½ teaspoon Minced garlic
½ cup Chopped green bell peppers

Directions

In a large sauce pan, combine the pork butt, pork liver, water, onions, garlic, bell peppers, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 1½ hours, or until the pork and liver are tender. Remove from the heat and drain, reserving 1 ½ cups of the broth. Using a meat grinder with a ¼-inch die, grind the pork mixture. ½ cup of the parsley, and ½ cup of the green onions, together. Turn the mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in the rice, remaining salt, cayenne, black pepper, parsley and green onions. Add the broth, ½ cup at a time, and mix thoroughly. Either using a feeding tube or a funnel, stuff the sausage into the casings and make 3 inch links.. Bring 1 gallon of salted water up to a boil.

Poach the sausage for about 5 minutes, or until the sausage is firm to the touch and plump. Remove from the water and allow to cool.
