Cutting Meat For Making Haitian Gumbo

Video Transcript

Hi, this is David from the Big Easy Catering Company in Santa Barbara, California for expertvillage.com. Today we are making Cajun gumbo sort of a spend from the regular gumbos that you would have down in Louisiana. So here I'm going to show you how to cut the ham and the sausages up. There is just a few ways that you can do it. Depending on the size of the pieces that you would like to have. With a sausage this size I would just split it down the side and then do just cross cuts like this and try to get the size about the same as my assistant told you with the vegetables because it will all cook better that way and each person will get a nice bite of sausage every time and still small enough where it will go with everything else on the plate. So I will just do a couple of these for you. You can also turn and quarter them if the sausages were a little bit larger but like is said I like to do it this way. Okay, so now do the ham. What I like to do with this is since its in such a nice shape to cut across I like to cut it into disk, such as this and then you can simply stack this two together, make length wise cuts across both. You could of course do it one piece if you not accustomed to this type of technique and then all you do is put that together and you cross cut it into beautiful little chunks.
