Here is a simple Cream Sauce made with one of my favorite ingredients, Tasso.
Tasso Cream Sauce Recipe
2 Tbsp Usalted Butter
1/2 Cup Tasso, Finely Diced
2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 Cups Half & Half
Kosher Salt, to taste
2 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Dashes Hot Sauce (I use Crystal)
1 Dash Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 Cup Mexican Crema Agria, or Creme Fraiche
Add the butter and Tasso to a small saucepan. Saute until lightly browned, incorporate the flour, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add the cold half & half, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cook for 5 minutes. Season with the salt and add the lemon juice and the sauces. Just before serving whisk in the crema and warm through.
Thanks, we had “tasso sauce” last weekend, and my boys just loved it. I thought I’d see if I could find a recipe and yours looks great. Thanks so much.
