What Is Tasso Ham? We Explain This Louisiana Ham - Taste of Home

Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins1. Must-Have for Classic Cajun Recipes. Tasso is a requisite ingredient in traditional Cajun dishes like étouffée, gumbo, jambalaya and dirty rice, giving them the deeply layered, piquant flavor the region is known for.
2. Stir Tasso Ham into Soup. Chowders, creamy vegetable soups, and bisques get a fiery boost from finely diced tasso added during the last half of cooking.
3. Gussy Up Your Grits and Polenta. Tasso gives soul food staple shrimp and grits its signature snappy punch. Spicy tasso is the perfect accompaniment to briny shellfish.
4. Add Flavor to Sautéed Greens. A little tasso lends a lot of flavor to sautéed or braised greens. Add a few chunks to the pot when braising kale, collards, chard, or dandelion greens for smoky depth.
5. Tasso Ham + Eggs = Heaven. Savory egg dishes like omelets, frittatas and scrambles get a welcome hit of smoke and spice from a bit of tasso ham. For an extraordinary quiche add a bit of tasso to the custard then pour into a tasso-studded, buttery pâte brisée.
6. Make Bread Better. Highly-seasoned, spicy tasso is a wonderful add-in to bread and bread-based recipes. Chop it small then add to your favorite recipes for cornbread, drop biscuits, cheddar muffins or savory bread pudding.
7. Add Zing to Finger Food. Finely diced tasso ham adds spirited, spicy flavor to normally tame hors d’oeuvres like corn fritters, arancini, potato croquettes, and hushpuppies.

Servings: 5Total Time: 150 hrsCategory: PorkCalories: 1988 per serving1. First, make "1st dry rub" mix by combining all the dry ingredients together in a bowl making sure to break up brown sugar lumps (9TB tender quick, 1/2c brown sugar, 1/4c cayenne, 1/3c black pepper, 1/4c white pepper, 1/4c paprika, 3TB onion pwdr, 1/4c granulated garlic, 2TB celery seed, 2TB mustard powder, 2TB cinnamon). Once that's done, make "wet cure mix" by combining 3 or 4 tbsp of dry rub mix with 1 cup cold water in separate small container with a lid. Cover and shake well to dissolve all dry rub mix in the water. This liquid will be the wet cure that is injected. Set wet cure and remaining dry rub mix aside for now.
2. Cut up the meat into roughly 1 pound chunks. This will make it easier to inject the wet cure. After that, slice the meat into roughly 1 or 2 inch wide slices. Inject each piece with the wet-cure (as much as it can hold -- about a syringe-full each). After injection, slice up the chunks and set them into pans.
3. Now liberally rub all sides of meat with remaining dry rub, make sure they are coated well. Then place meat in two, one-gallon Ziploc bags along with the left over dry rub mix. Put both bags into a 9x13 roasting pan and into the fridge.
4. Now wait for the butt to cure into Tasso. During the next 5 days massage and turn them over every 12 hours. Then we will rinse and smoke our Tasso.
