Tasso!! With T-view!! Now with the final pics!!

fpnmf · Dec 21, 2011

I have been wanting to get this going..

I got a great deal on butt last week so I have plenty to play with.

I followed Len Polis recipe..http://lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/Tasso.pdf

I think Nepas did this recipe a few months ago.

Anyway I chopped butt into chunks and dredged as the recipe called for.

It is now happily resting in the fridge for a few days.

Will smoke it the 23rd..More pics then..

The dredge begins..

The smoke went nicely...

Pecan dust in the pellet smoker with 2 lanes burning.

This turned out very tasty and I am quite happy for the first try.

Next time I will use a leaner cut of pork and a trick a Cajun guy told me about.

All in all it is very good and tastes real close to what I wanted.

Craig, afternoon.... Checking Len Poli's recipe, he calls for cure #2.... I'm confused....

I would use cure #1... but I don't know squat.... Help me out here.... Dave

Honest Dave..I practice what I preach..

Len has been around a long time and this is his recipe. I did it as written.

I wondered about it but I did see that someone else here did it the same way. ( the great and powerful nepas ) ( pay no attention to the man behind the curtain )

I have seen several methods for tasso.....this looked close to what I wanted.

Next time more cayenne and a touch of garlic,then the tenderizing hammer to poud it in.

Rest assured my friend...next week you gonna see some awesome jambalaya in the old dutch oven.

Have a great day!!!

Looks excellent!

I've made tasso only once with the John Folse & Company recipe, plus cure.

It's mostly red pepper and garlic.

I'll try Len's recipe sometime.
