Red beans with sausage an Tasso. A spicy meal of red beans cooked with tasso and andouille sausage then served over rice. Although tasso can be eaten by itself, its ultimate purpose is to help season a wide variety of Cajun and Creole dishes, including red beans and rice. Tasso (pronounced "TAH-so") is a perfect seasoning for slow-cooked beans of all kinds, including red, black, blackeyes, butter, cannellini, navy, and Great Northerns.
This Red Beans and Rice gets its flavor from two Cajun meats- Andouille sausage and Tasso ham. Tasso ham is a spicy smoked pork made from the shoulder butt, which technically means it is not a ham at all since ham comes from the hind leg of the pig.
