Really sad that good sausage cant be found anywhere other than a mom and pop shop. So I got some not so good stuff today but itll be ok
Smoke is like ketchup, put enough on and you can eat just about anything I'm with ya on finding good sausage. I get mine 600+ miles south from here.
I’m trying something new with salmon. It’s from a recipe online. Cube the salmon and brine it, drain and rinse, air dry for several hours then smoke it. I plan on eating some for quality control purposes and then I will vacuum seal the rest and freeze it for snack size portions later.
I’ve been slacking with the cooking lately. Way to much going on! In fact the last I did was in the end of September open fire breakfast. a little bacon grease on the griddle just before eggs and pancakes went on.
I didn’t even burn it surprisingly. I run that one on the wood stove all the time too then just throw it up on a trivet to keep it warm
The first couple of the smoker were mediocre. The next day they were good. They are more chewy than flaky. Good flavor. I froze the rest and will post if they are any good thawed out
I smoke a lot of salmon...never tried cubing it, I'll have to try that. I find that it's gets better with some age as well. I vacuum seal it and don't freeze, had it up to two months in the fridge and it's fine.
My wife saved a pic of a jalapeño pepper stuffed with brisket and cheese and wrapped in bacon. I always do the cream cheese filled and bacon wrapped only. I figured I would give it a try. I grated smoked cheddar and put it in with cream cheese and then added smoked chuck roast. The three ingredients are mixed and put in the jalapeño half. For half of the batch I put sriracha hot sauce on top then wrapped with bacon. The sample of the mix uncooked was amazing. I hope it taste the same or better once cooked.
