Dry Cured Saucisson SecSaucisson Sec is not just for picnics! Try it with a seasonal cheeseboard, sliced on pizza or added to an autumn salad.
D’Artagnan’s lean, cured Tasso Ham is richly seasoned with red pepper, garlic and a mix of other herbs and spices and is ideal for flavoring your favorite gumbo, stew, bean dish, or even pasta. Throw a hunk of it into split-pea soup an hour before it finishes cooking and observe how tasty it becomes. (Like a parmesan rind, Tasso Ham lends stews a depth of flavor that is otherwise hard to come by.) Sauté giant shrimp and Andouille sausage with white wine, butter and diced Tasso Ham and serve over grits or polenta for an easy weeknight dinner. Really, almost any dish that typically uses ham gets a spicy kick from Tasso Ham, whether chopped small and added to a potato bake or used as a topping on pizza alongside pineapple! Its hefty shelf life—our ham stays usable for up to 30 days—means you can wait for inspiration to strike. This is a great pantry staple for the busy home cook.
