Heat the olive oil in a cast iron pot, or deep cast iron pan.
Add ground beef, garlic, and onions to the pan.
Once the beef is browning and the onions have become translucent add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, paprika, basil, oregano, salt and pepper, and stir together.
Leave to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove cast iron pot from stove, and place in preheated smoker.
Smoke for 1 – 1½ hours, stirring occasionally.
While sauce is smoking, prepare the pasta of your choosing (as per the instructions). You can never go wrong with the classic spaghetti.
When sauce is finished smoking, remove from smoker and stir in butter.
Drain pasta, once cooked, and serve with your freshly smoked Bolognese sauce.
If desired, cut each chicken wing into three portions: drumette, middle portion, and tip. Discard the tip of the wings and place the other portions in a large bowl.
Mix together the chipotle powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar together. Toss the wings in the seasonings so they are evenly coated.
Hand press into patties, if patties are too dry and aren’t sticking together well then add more mayonnaise. If they are too sticky then add more bread crumbs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add tuna cakes.
Cook about 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Mix together the water with all the salt, sugar and spices until the salt and sugar are dissolved.
Then place the fish, skin side down, in a dish and pour in the brine. Flip the fish a couple times and cover the dish with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge and let the fish marinate for 8-10 hours.
Rinse the fish thoroughly and lay on smoker rack. Place the trout in a cool dry place for 1 hour to allow a pellicle to form on the outside of the fish. A fan can be used to speed up the process.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground beef, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until thoroughly combined.
In a bowl, mix together the grated mozzarella, pepperoni and green olives.
Grab a small handful of the meat mixture and form a meatball that is about 1½ inches in size. Make a small indentation in the middle with your thumb. Put some of the cheese, pepperoni, and olive mixture into the indentation and fold the meat around the cheese mixture so that it is covered.
Using your two hands, roll the meat around so that it is fairly round. Place the meatball on the Bradley smoker racks. Do this with the remaining meat and cheese.
Place the smoking racks in the Bradley Smoker. Smoke the meatballs until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 2½ hours.
Drizzle some of the pizza sauce on top of the meatballs and serve hot!
2 x 6oz or 8oz cans Ripe Black Olives, Pitted and
packed in water
¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 to 2 Tbsp Cider Vinegar (adjust to how tangy you
like it)
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ large Yellow Onion, cut root to stem and sliced
very thin
2 medium cloves Garlic, sliced very thin
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
Pinch Dry Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
(Recipe
can be easily doubled if you have more olives)
Directions
Drain olives and spread them out on a few layers of paper towels and allow to air dry for 30 minutes. Lightly coat the olives with olive oil (very thin film). Using the Cold Smoke Adaptor on the Smoker, cold smoke for 2hrs. Pecan, Apple or Maple bisquettes work well.
While olives are in the smoker: in a small bowl mix all ingredients except onion and garlic. When ingredients are well blended, taste and adjust seasonings. Add the onions and garlic (adjust quantity of these to taste), finally blend in the smoked olives. Place all ingredients into an air tight, non-reactive container, eg mason jar. If olives are not fully submerged, add more balsamic vinegar and olive oil (2 parts balsamic/1 part oil) and adjust the cider vinegar if necessary.
Let sit in a cool area of the room for 24 hours, stirring/shaking occasionally. Then transfer to refrigerator and for best results let them marinade for 2 more days, the flavour increased the longer you leave. Remove from fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for 20mins before serving.
Olives can be stored in fridge about 2 weeks.
Variations:
If you like you can
mix black and kalamata olives, or any combination of mixed olives. If you use green brined olives, be careful
about adding extra salt.
Stuff the olives
with cheese, pieces of ham, or even nuts prior to smoking and/or marinating.
Smoked Sea Salt is a great addition
to your pantry. It can be used to bring
a smoky grilled flavour to any meat dish, roasts or on vegetables. A few grains sprinkled onto fresh tomatoes is
very tasty or in a Bloody Mary, have fun experimenting.
Make the marinade by mixing together the hoisin sauce, orange juice, honey, sriracha sauce, sesame oil and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Measure out ½ cup of the marinade and set aside. Place the salmon in a flat dish and pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Flip the salmon a couple times to ensure that all the salmon is coated in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3-4 hours. Flip the salmon every hour.
Smoke the fish for around 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145°F (60°C).
During the smoking time, pour the ½ of reserved marinade in a small saucepan. Let it come to a low boil and let it reduce until it thickens and turns into a nice glaze. This takes about 10 minutes or so. Remove from heat.
Once the salmon has finished smoking, place it on a serving platter. Brush with the glaze. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve.
Place the salmon steaks in a flat dish and pour the Italian salad dressing over the salmon. Flip the salmon a couple times to ensure that all the fish is coated in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours. Flip the salmon after the first hour.
