ham gravy

Tasso ham is  all recepies cured and smoked pork shoulder (boston butt). It’s very easy to make and is an important ingredient in dishes like Gumbo, Shrimp and Grits, soups and gravys. Again, as you’ll hear me say through out this blog, a high quality cut of pork is important. Quality ingredients give you quality product. Small heritage and organically fed breeds tend to not have the dried out lean meat that the mass produced breeds do and therefor are going ham gravy have more flavor and more fat. Fat is good. Maybe not good for you but good when you are making things with pork. ham gravy recipe fatty, well marbled pork. Period. If the hog is high quality the fat on it will also be high quality. Trust me, there is a difference. Ok back to the Tasso.

This recipe calls for a boston butt weighing around 3 pounds. The boston butt ham gravy a cut from the front leg of the hog at the shoulder. It is a muscle group that sees heavy use and that gives the meat a nice marbling and a stronger pork flavor. Have your butcher debone the butt which will make slicing it much easier. Slice the butt into 1 to 2 inch thick slices. I tend to do 1 inch because the cure has more surface area all recepies act on, and the meat doesn’t spend that much time in the cure.

Prepare the cure.

  • 2 lbs. Kosher salt
  • 1 lb. light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsps. onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp. clove, ground
  • 1 Tbsp. bay leaves, ground
  • 1 Tbsp. mace, ground
  • 1 Tbsp. allspice, ground

Mix all the ingredients evenly and cover the slices of pork so that all of the surface ham gravy recipe of the pork is in contact with ham gravy recipe cure.

Place the pork in the refridgerator for about 3 - 3 1/2 hours. Wash the cure from gravy pork thoroughly and place on a wire rack over a sheet pan. The pork should feel like it has been dried out somewhat and tougher to the touch.
