Tasso Ham:  “What is this and what do I do with it?”

Tasso is a highly spiced and highly smoked Cajun ham.  Consider it more of a seasoning or ingredient in dishes that have moist heat.  You can slice, dice, or mince it to use in dishes.  You can even sauté it to crisp it like a spicy bacon bit.  The choice is yours.  Here are a few ideas:

·         Place a teaspoon-tablespoon of it in an omelette. 

·         Stir into your baked beans.

·         Gumbo or jambalaya.

·         Mac and cheese with Tasso

·         Sauté some and add to a grilled cheese sandwich.

·         Top your baked potatoes or twice-baked potatoes.

·         Google it.  There are many traditional southern dishes like shrimp and grits with Tasso.

·         Use it instead of bacon in a bacon/ horseradish dip.  (Addiction warning!)

·         It makes your meat lover’s pizza the best in town.

·         Add sautéed Tasso and jalapeños to your cornbread batter.

·         Add to any gravy and most soups.  Broccoli and cheddar with Tasso…O.M.G!
