Located in: Meats/Seafood, Hams

Tasso Ham is a Cajun specialty - a lean piece of cured pork (usually shoulder) richly seasoned with red pepper, garlic, file powder and several other herbs and spices, and then smoked for two days. The result is a firm, smoky and flavorful meat largely used for seasoning. It is most often finely chopped and used to flavor foods such as beans, eggs, and pastas. Makes a great addition to Jambalaya; adds flavor to collard greens; or use in white tarbais bean ragout.

Please note that weight of ham ranges slightly. The average weight is 1 lb.

Comments about Tasso Ham:

This ham is fabulous. I missed tasso when a local New Orleans cuisine restaurant went out of business. I used this in a recipe with spinach and pasta in a cream sauce. Wow. I can't wait to use the remainder of the tasso in a quiche. I can't say enough about this ham. It is not overly hot and spicy - just right, to my taste.

Great taste!

Comments about Tasso Ham:

This is essential in Cajun cooking, but you should know that it is so hot it's not edible on its own. It is used only as a flavoring. I love/crave spicy food but this is so hot I can't handle more than two small bites.
