What is tasso pork?
Tasso Ham is lean, spicy cured meat that's hand-crafted from pork shoulder. ... A specialty of Cajun cuisine, tasso is typically used to season dishes like soups, gumbo, grits, rice, and gravies, but any recipe that needs a rich peppery kick and depth of flavor can benefit.
What does tasso ham taste like?
Due to the spices used when producing Tasso, it has that familiar hot and spicy taste that is common among Cajun foods. Coming from the fatty portion of the pig, this processed meat is full of flavor. The cooking process also allows this to have a heavy smoke taste. Its smell is likewise smoky and peppery.
What kind of food is Tasso?
Tasso ham is a smoked, spiced, and cured meat, a specialty of south Louisiana cuisine. In this case "ham" is a misnomer since tasso is not made from the hind leg of a hog, but rather the hog's shoulder. This cut is typically fatty, and because the muscle is constantly used by the animal, has a great deal of flavor.
Does Tasso need to be refrigerated?
Tasso is cured, smoked, seasoned lean meat made in Louisiana. The meat is put in a pickling solution of salt, sugar and Prague Powder #1, and refrigerated for two days covered in the solution.
How long does Tasso take to cook?
about 5 minutes
While the potatoes are roasting, slice the tasso and place it in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the tasso about 5 minutes, until it is lightly browned and cooked through.
All authentic Louisiana meats and specialties from CajunFood.com are prepared according to generational bayou recipes. Here are our smokehouse pitmaster guidelines for best flavor:
Submerge links in barely simmering water (do not boil hard or casings will burst) for 10–12 minutes until heated through (internal temp 160°F).
Preheat to 375°F. Lightly brush casings with butter or oil. Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning halfway through until the skin is delightfully crispy.
Place over indirect, medium-low heat on pecan or hickory coals. Turn frequently for 8–10 minutes until casings are taut and lightly charred.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer to a heavy Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until hot and bubbling.

Living in Colorado, finding real Louisiana boudin and smoked meats is impossible. CajunFood shipped this packed hard in dry ice. Steamed it in a pot for 12 minutes and the rice/pork balance and cayenne spice level were perfection.
Was skeptical about ordering frozen food in the summer heat, but the cooler had plenty of dry ice remaining. Air fried at 375°F for 12 mins and had the crispiest, juiciest sausage links ever.
