Tasso Ham Brussel Sprouts


  Fresh Brussels, Lemon, Fresh Garlic, Sage, Bay leaves, Salt, pepper, Red Pepper Flakes, Tasso Ham, Butter - Cook covered or wrapped in foil at 350f 45 min or until tender...then serve or place in uncovered dish and return to 400f oven to caramelize a bit

  



This time I used bacon instead of Tasso ham, and added some piquin peppers

add ingredients then mix

I'm bringing these over my moms house for Thanksgiving, so a disposable pan will do!

no finished product on these...yet
Enjoy The Food!

  Tasso ham makes for a great ingredient.  It's just a cured, spicy smoked piece of pork butt (or other part).   Think buckboard bacon with a spicy cajun blend of spices and black pepper.

But, unfortunately Ron, it's not for the likes of Melissa or Friend Wife. Tasso is more than just spicy. It's fairly hot.

I'd eat that!

Tasso is not something I can get around here though.  Is it something I could make easily?

  Very easy.  If you feel there is too much cayenne, either reduce the spice or increase the amount of shoulder rubbed with it.


Tasso Ham

Based on recipe on Charcuterie:see link above

  • 1 kg pork shoulder sliced 1″ thick
  • 200 grams kosher salt
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 20 grams pink salt
  • 15 grams white pepper
  • 10 grams cayenne
  • 3 grams dried marjoram
  • 12 grams allspice

    • Step One: Combine sugar, salt, and pink salt in a pan for dredging.


    Pork Shoulder in the Cure

    Step Two: Cut pork shoulder into 1 1/2″ cuts and dredge them in the mixture of sugar, salt, and pink salt. Let cure for four hours. Rinse.

    Step Three: Grind remaining spice mixture.


    Cured Pork Dredged in Spice Mix

    Step Four: Dredge the cured pork in the spice mixture. Let sit for a couple of hours to dry.

    Step Five: Hot smoke until internal temperature of meat reaches 155 degrees.

    Step Six: When meat is cool, store in freezer until ready to use.

    Maybe it is just me , but the spice and cure amounts in the Tasso Recipe seem more appropriate for a 10 kg Batch
