Tasso time

[crankybuzzard]

Started some tasso a week ago using Poli's recipe. The only change I made was to use cure#1 instead of cure #2.

Hung to dry 18 hours, then smoked it like I do sausage.

After 6 hours in the smoke, it was done at 152 IT. Tastes great and it looks well cured!

Does look really good!  Is Tasso usually eaten on its own or as part of dishes.  I know I have eaten it in the southern part of the United States but don't remember how it was prepared.

I slice it up for snacks sometimes, but most of the time I use it to flavor a pot of beans.

This meat has a HEAVY coating of spices on it and will spice up a pot of pintos quite well.  I've also used it shredded in omelets
