Tasso sauce

I made a great sauce with some diced tasso. It is perfect for fried eggs and toast.
Fry about a 1/4 cup of diced tasso in a 1/4 stick of butter. Once it is browned, remove the tasso and add 3-4 tablespoons of flour. Make a dark roux over medium high heat. Once roux is ready, add 1/8 cup of onion. Once onion is clear, add 1/8 cup of green bell pepper. Add 1/8 cup of stock, I used some vegetable stock I made this week, and turn up the heat a little. Add browned tasso and add more stock if sauce gets too thick. I only cooked the sauce for several minutes until the sauce was thick enough for my tastes.
I poured the sauce over two over medium fried eggs and served with toast.
One could use poached eggs or even use the sauce as a filling for a crepe or an omelette. The sauce could even be served over smoked pork loin or baked chicken.The main thing is to have fun and enjoy your food!
And I do highly recommend buying your own charcoal smoker and making your own tasso. If you make a lot at once, your smoker will pay itself off just from the tasso alone. A nice chunk of tasso can cost up to $5 in the store. You can get a pork butt that will make 6 or 7 nice pieces of tasso for $5.
