So I havent posted in a while, but I've definitely been lurking and enjoying all the pictures of your delicious foods.
Along with the regular tri-tips, chicken, and ribs, I've continued with my smoking experiments.
I've always wondered what smoked bread would be like, so I gave it a try. On Friday nights, the Jews have a tradition of making a bread called Challah. This Challah is normally a bit sweeter than regular bread and is always a crowd pleaser. I tried to take it to the next level by smoking a Challah. I made the dough (a nearly 4 hour ordeal), braided it, and placed it on a ceder plank. I also sauted onions and put them on top:
At first, the dinner guests were reluctant to try smoked bread, but the whole loaf was devoured within 3 minutes once they tasted it. The smoking added a delicious crust to the bread.
I also decided to try some Armadillo eggs. Pretty much started out by making ABTs but instead of bacon, encasing them in sausage meat. For cheese, I used a mix of ricotta, cream cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella. I covered the outside with olive oil and sprinkled money rub on them:
My favorite thing to smoke is still Salmon. It is healthy and easy to make. I've been pushing the envelope on my salmon recipe by using balsamic glaze and rosemary:
Cooked it so low and slow that the fats started oozing out:
And today, I decided to try another bread. I went to the local grocery store, got herb and garlic pizza dough, rolled it out, put a layer of tomato sauce, cheese, and mushrooms, and rolled it up, and smoked it. AMAZING!:
