New Orleans Red Beans and Rice Recipe
New Orleans Red Beans and Rice is a Creole dish traditionally made on Mondays with beans, veggies left over from Sunday supper and served over rice.
Tasso (pronounced “TAH-so”) is a southern Louisiana specialty meat that is similar to pancetta. It is a lean cut of pork that is cured with spices and then smoked for hours. Tasso can be served on it’sown but it really shines when adding additional flavor to Cajun and Creole dishes –like rice and beans.
Add a spicy smokey flavor to slow-cooked red beans or any bean for that matter with a little bit of Tasso.
Add Tasso to gumbo, étouffées, jambalaya, and veggies like chard, kale, or broccoli for an awesome flavor boost. It can be used in place of pancetta in pasta dishes like carbonara and added to a basic cream sauce with cajun spices is the perfect cajun pasta sauce.
New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice
Add Tasso to Your Trinity Start by combining tasso with the “holy trinity” of onion, celery, and bell pepper when you begin sautéing the Trinity.
