Cajun is what we ate this weekend using some smoked pepper sausage along with some tasso I finished smoking and let rest for a night.
Tasso out of the smoker
Sliced after resting in cooler for a night.
Diced up and used to season spinach with garlic.
Then tasso was used a base for some jambalaya with pepper sausage and stuff from the garden. No seasonings were added to this whatsoever and everything tasted perfect.

I used Chuckwagon's recipe.
http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?p=22766#22766
I didn't cold smoke it though. After curing I rinsed the meat (the coppa cut from a boston butt) and hung to dry. When it was dry I rubbed the seasoning on it heavily then netted it and put in the smoker with heavy smoke till the internal temp was 152F then pulled it and let it rest.
Chuckwagon outdid himself with this recipe. Flavors are superb and will lend wonderful flavors to the dish. Haven't done it yet but I think you could make some wonderful rue if you used the tasso as a base for the flour to go in. Am thinking it would be a red roux but haven't done it yet but I know it would be delicious.

I am going to have to do this this week then. At a restaurant in New Orleans, they do a shrimp and tasso pasta dish that has a cream sauce. It's absolutely amazing and I would get it every time I went. That's what I'd like to have this ingredient for. It would for sure be great in a nice dark roux though.
I'm seeing this "Tumbleweed" seasoning. Never heard of it and I'd rather do a combination of my own. Any idea on what's in it?

I am not sue if yumbo is a better description than Gumbo (sorry about the awful pun). Here are a few pictures of the creation of my gumbo. It may not be traditional, but it tastes great. The holy trinity of onion, cellery and casicum (red as they were on speical) plus carrot is in the mix. I coated the chicken in a homemade mix before browning it. The gumbo was cooked for about an hour after the chicken was added.
I also poached the sausages as I need to do some work on getting a windshield sorted for my gas burner which supplies the heat. It works well at medium to high temperatures, but keeps blowing out at lower temperatures.
The Mix
The Coil
Drying
Smoking. It is the first sausage that I have burst for a while
Poached Some of the sausages
Starting of the roux
Roux after 25 mins
Browning the Chicken. All I need is the rice
Tasso is on my future list of things to try.

Do no harm. Margerine is the biggest food crime

markjass, markjass,
Can you give a recipe? Or can you explain more about the mix?markjass wrote:he holy trinity of onion, cellery and casicum (red as they were on speical) plus carrot is in the mix.
