Steps:
- For the grits: Bring the milk, salt, butter and 6 cups water to a boil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pot. Slowly pour in the grits, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to stir for several minutes to make sure the grits do not scorch. Continue to cook the grits for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Keep warm until ready to serve. If they become too thick, add warm water or milk to thin.
- For the tasso gravy: Cook the leeks in 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan until soft. Add the chili powder, paprika, basil, oregano, black pepper, seasoning salt, thyme, garlic and seafood seasoning, stirring to release the flavors. Add the clam juice and tomato juice and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the half-and-half and simmer for 10 minutes. Make a roux with the flour and the 3 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl. Slowly add it to the gravy mixture, stirring vigorously. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add ham.
- For the shrimp: Saute the shrimp in the butter in a large saute pan until they start to turn pink. Add the tasso gravy and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve: Top each plate with some grits and spoon the shrimp and tasso gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
GUMBO - SHRIMP, TASSO HAM, ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE, CHICKEN, FILE'
After many experiments with Gumbo, guidance 15 years ago from a friend's Cajun Father and bravery to get the roux dark enough, I can finally say I have conquered it to my family and friend's taste. It is a labor of love! When I made this for book club (where we eat as much as we read) it had rave reviews as the best gumbo they had ever had. I have to humbly admit, I felt the same way. Of course, this is best made a few days ahead and allowed to rest. I made this on a Sunday (It took all danged day!) and served on Wednesday. This makes a big batch. I used a a 7 1/4 quart Le Creuset dutch oven. I ordered the Tasso and Andouille Sausage directly from http://www.dartagnan.com/ since it is not readily available in my area (Also, they are salty and spicy enough for us, so I did not need to add any additional heat). I provided Louisiana Hot Sauce and Tabasco on the side. One may be tempted to add tomatoes, but they are not necessary and even a distraction for this dish.

Steps:
- Separately, chop / prepare all ingredients necessary as defined above and set aside.
- Heat a large heavy pot (cast iron / enameled cast iron) on medium high until pre-heated. Add some oil and saute each meat separately and in batches to brown nicely. (A pain, but worth it, I promise). Start with Andouille, then Tasso, and chicken. Some of the meat will stick and that is perfect. It imparts a rich flavor that is important to your gumbo. After browning, set aside.
- ROUX: This is a critical step that requires constant tending. The goal is to cook this flour until it is somewhere between brown and black without burning it.Go for the color of a Hershey's kiss or darker. It is required to make the gumbo you want to make and well worth it. This takes me 45 minutes to an hour to get the right color. Each time I make gumbo I try to get it darker and darker. Don't be afraid to turn the heat up and down even if it take you longer. Better to take longer than to burn it. If you have black flecks, you have burned it and must start over. (You can do it perfectly though!).
- Add 2 cups oil and 2 cups flour to the.
- Pour the 2 cups oil and 2 cups flour into your pot. Stir slowly, consistently until it is brown / black. (It will happen. Just keep going.).
- When the roux has reached the desired color, add the chopped celery, onion and peppers and stir constantly for 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Cast irons hold heat well, so feel free to lower your temperature and just cook longer).
- Add chicken stock one ladle / cup at a time, stirring in between each addition to keep temperature and to make sure your roux doesn't break).
- Add all meats and drippings (except shrimp) and reduce to simmering uncovered for three hours stirring delicately and occasionally. Add shrimp and cook for 15 minutes more.
- Taste a little to adjust seasonings to your preference and then refrigerate in pot for three - four days.
- Reheat when ready to serve. Serve over rice topped with fresh parsley. Allow each diner to sprinkle their own file' for thickening and flavor.

TASSO CAJUN STYLE
Tasso is a Cajun delicacy - lean strips of boneless pork which are marinated in a special seasoning and then heavily smoked. Sometimes called Tasso-ham and served in many Louisiana supermarkets, it can be eaten straight or added to other dishes.

Steps:
- Trim the pork of all excess fat and cut it into strips about 1 inch thick and at least 4 inches long.

- Prepare a smoker. Place the pork strips on the grill or rod (whichever your smoker uses) and smoke until done, 5 to 7 hours. Don't let the smoker get too hot.
- Remove the meat and let it cool completely, then wrap well in plastic and foil.
- The tasso will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, and it also freezes very well.

Steps:
- Slice the pork butt with the grain into steaks about 1-inch thick.
- Combine the sugar, salt, and curing salt in a bowl. Make sure everything is very evenly distributed.
- Dredge each piece of pork in the curing mixture on all sides.
- Place the cure-covered pork on a rimmed sheet tray and refrigerate to cure for 4-5 hours, uncovered.
- Using your preferred smoking wood and Billows BBQ Control Fan, preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- Take the pork from the fridge and rinse it under cool running water.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the seasoning ingredients. Do not add any salt, the meat has absorbed enough.
- Liberally coat the pork in the seasoning mixture.
- Place the pork in the smoker and insert a probe attached to your Smoke X2. Set the high-temp alarm on the meat channel for 150°F (66°C).
- Close the smoker and smoke the meat!
- When the high-temp alarm sounds, verify the temps with your Thermapen and remove the tasso from the smoker.
- You can cut the tasso up immediately and toss it into a pot of beans or gumbo, but with this much, you'll have plenty to store. Wrap it tightly or vacuum seal it and freeze it until needed.

- Spicy Chorizo. Chorizo is the Spanish pork sausage and can be found in the smoked, cured, and fermented versions. However, the uncooked and fresh chorizo is available as well, so you will need to cook it before adding to the pasta or eggs (or any dish!).
- Canadian Bacon. Sure, the name says bacon, but it resembles ham pretty much with the identical flavour and texture. The Canadian bacon is made by smoking and curing the pork loins.
- Smoked Ham. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that there can be no better substitute for Tasso than smoked ham. The best part is that smoked ham is readily available at grocery stores.
- Andouille Sausage. Andouille is the grained and smoked sausage with a coarse texture and is made from pork. The best part is that Andouille sausage is an active part of Louisiana cuisine and is commonly labelled as Cajun sausage.
- Andouillette. The andouillette is made from pork, onion, pepper, wine, along with the chitterlings. This is the course and grained sausage and has a unique odour.

- Must-Have for Classic Cajun Recipes. Tasso is a requisite ingredient in traditional Cajun dishes like étouffée, gumbo, jambalaya and dirty rice, giving them the deeply layered, piquant flavor the region is known for.
- Stir Tasso Ham into Soup. Chowders, creamy vegetable soups, and bisques get a fiery boost from finely diced tasso added during the last half of cooking.
- Gussy Up Your Grits and Polenta. Tasso gives soul food staple shrimp and grits its signature snappy punch. Spicy tasso is the perfect accompaniment to briny shellfish.
- Add Flavor to Sautéed Greens. A little tasso lends a lot of flavor to sautéed or braised greens. Add a few chunks to the pot when braising kale, collards, chard, or dandelion greens for smoky depth.
- Tasso Ham + Eggs = Heaven. Savory egg dishes like omelets, frittatas and scrambles get a welcome hit of smoke and spice from a bit of tasso ham. For an extraordinary quiche add a bit of tasso to the custard then pour into a tasso-studded, buttery pâte brisée.
- Make Bread Better. Highly-seasoned, spicy tasso is a wonderful add-in to bread and bread-based recipes. Chop it small then add to your favorite recipes for cornbread, drop biscuits, cheddar muffins or savory bread pudding.
- Add Zing to Finger Food. Finely diced tasso ham adds spirited, spicy flavor to normally tame hors d’oeuvres like corn fritters, arancini, potato croquettes, and hushpuppies.
