Cured and ready-to-eat, this Cajun-style ham is made from humanely-raised pork. Coated in zesty spices and smoked over hardwood chips, our tasso ham is cured for only a short time. In Bayou cuisine, tasso is typically used to season dishes like soups, gumbo, grits, rice, and gravies.
Dice tasso and throw it into split-pea soup an hour before it finishes cooking for added heat and depth of flavor. 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. Try it chopped small and added to a potato bake or use as a topping on pizza. Stir into braised greens like collards, chard or kale.
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.
