Congrats Chile on the “OTBS”! Pretty cool deal. It would be nice to be there someday. Have a merry Christmas!

 

[chilerelleno]

Thanks JB, it was quite a surprise and honor.
A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Sausage and Tasso are done.
Onions, green onions and garlic and “melting” now.
Then everything back in the pot.

 

[jbellard]

Onions are clear and everything is back in the pot now to get the water out.
Then I’ll add the broth/water until it’s boiling. Then rice.

 

[jbellard]

Rice is in and broth has to boil again. Then a few more stirs and I’ll cover for about 20 minutes. Then it’s eatin’ time.

Oh Man! Salivating hard thinking about this.

JB, Looking awesome , I can almost smell the goodness from here !

 

[jbellard]

My family keeps coming around and saying, man the smells good. And they’re about to eat it! I think it would be cold by the time it made its way to New Hampshire!

 

[Steve H]

Oh man, that looks awesome. Someday I need to try Tasso. It is a variant of ham, correct?

 

[jbellard]

Steve, it is a lot like ham.
You make it out of pork butt and lots of cayenne, etc.
Waiting on rice to get soft now

 

[jbellard]

It’s all done now.
Taking it inside to eat lunch.
Have a Merry Christmas!
