Smoked Chaurice - The Creole cousin of Spanish Chorizo - 2 Links

$15.00

While standard smoked sausages are widely available, authentic Chaurice is a prized, traditional Creole cousin of Spanish chorizo that remains difficult to find outside the bayou. Poché’s continues to craft this heritage specialty the traditional way—honoring generations of butcher craft without industrial shortcuts.

Vibrant Spice, Coarse Pork & Slow Hardwood Smoke

Unlike traditional andouille or mild smoked sausages, Poché’s Smoked Chaurice is celebrated for its zesty, robust flavor profile. Coarsely ground select pork is stuffed into natural casings and packed with a classic Creole medley of crushed red peppers, cayenne, garlic, onion, and aromatic herbs. Cold- and slow-smoked over seasoned hardwoods, it delivers a tender snap, juicy texture, and a distinctive, bold warmth that tingles the palate without overpowering the savory richness of the meat.

Versatile Culinary Uses

Red Beans & Rice: The historic companion to Louisiana red beans. Brown slices in a Dutch oven to render spicy, paprika- and cayenne-laced drippings that perfume the entire pot.
Gumbo & Jambalaya: Adds an extra layer of rustic heat and savory aroma to poultry, seafood, or wild game gumbos and rice dishes.
Breakfast Skillets & Hash: Crumble or dice into morning scrambles, egg bakes, and breakfast burritos for a spicy Creole-style morning kick.
Charred on the Grill: Cook whole over hot coals and serve on a toasted bun with pickled peppers or coarse Creole mustard.
