Poche's Smoked Pork Tasso 1 lb

Poche’s Smoked Pork Tasso is a traditional Cajun seasoning meat made from large pieces of lean pork that are heavily seasoned, cured, and smoked to deliver deep Louisiana flavor. This authentic Cajun tasso is crafted with salt, red pepper, black pepper, garlic, jalapeño peppers, mustard, vinegar, and liquid smoke, creating a bold smoky profile that adds richness to countless Southern dishes.

Unlike regular ham or bacon, pork tasso is used primarily as a flavor enhancer in Cajun and Creole cooking. A small amount can transform gumbo, red beans, white beans, jambalaya, gravies, sauces, pasta dishes, soups, and smothered vegetables with authentic smokehouse flavor.

How to Use Pork Tasso

• Dice into gumbo or jambalaya
• Add to red beans or white beans
• Use in cream sauces and pasta dishes
• Flavor greens, cabbage, or smothered vegetables
• Cube for breakfast dishes or omelets
• Use as a smoky pizza topping

Heating and Cooking Suggestions

• Sauté or pan fry: Dice or slice tasso and warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and lightly crisp.
• Simmer: Add directly to gumbo, beans, stews, sauces, or jambalaya so the smoky seasoning flavors the whole dish.
• Bake: Use in casseroles, rice dishes, or baked recipes and heat until the product reaches 165°F.

Why Cajun Cooks Love Tasso

Tasso is one of the secret ingredients behind authentic Louisiana cooking. Its concentrated smoky seasoning delivers layers of flavor without needing large quantities of meat. Many Cajun recipes rely on tasso to create the rich depth associated with traditional Acadiana cuisine.
