Smoked Mushroom Boudin

steps

1. Slice the smoked mushrooms and bake on a sheet pan for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Place half of the mushrooms in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Set aside.
2. In a pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add ¾ cups of the onions,  ¼ cup of the celery, and ¼ cup of the bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are dark brown (caramelized).
3. Add the remaining onions, celery, and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the second stage of onions become soft and clear.
4. Reduce heat to low. Add the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, white pepper, chili powder, cumin, savory, oregano, thyme, garlic, jalapeño, and bay leaf. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the sliced smoked mushrooms, finely chopped smoked mushrooms, and chopped roasted eggplant. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the water, soy sauce, and butter and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the rice and return the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to very low, cover, and simmer for exactly 17 minutes.
7. Stir in the green onions, parsley, and puréed toasted pine nuts.
8. Transfer the mixture to a shallow pan and refrigerate until fully chilled.
9. To make egg rolls, make an egg wash with 1 beaten egg and 1 teaspoon water. Place 2 Tablespoons of the boudin mixture on each egg roll wrapper and roll, sealing with the egg wash. Fry the egg rolls for 5 minutes at 350 degrees or poach in simmering water for 5 minutes.
10. Drizzle the egg rolls with Honey Chinese Mustard Sauce (see below).
