Simmer it longer. It is pork shoulder that is cured and smoked. It will break down just like any other pork shoulder as long as it's cooked low and slow.

I’m not mad at OP for using Tasso in the gumbo but it’s definitely not something that everyone does. I’ve never used it.
It's not for everybody but if you think it's unusual you're wrong.

I like tasso but I can't easily get it where I am so I just don't use it. I don't notice a difference in overall flavor of the gumbo to be honest.

I literally never use Tasso in gumbo so just don’t.


I've used it quite a bit so I say do.

I can't get smoked turkey necks like I like them, so I use tasso as a substitute and my gumbo is fantastic.

Make red beans. Purée the red beans. Sauté trinity, add roux, add puréed red beans. Cook with smoked turkey necks and poach eggs in it at the very end. A river parish favorite.


I might try this. Without the turkey necks and eggs but with extra sausage and Tasso
