Adding liquid to
the moat is an option when roasting any type of meat or poultry. The liquid
adds flavour and moisture to the meats. Stuffing ingredients may simply be
combined and used, but you may prefer to fry the onion first.

We’ve made it easy to access great-tasting smoked
recipes for popular veggies all in one place. Bookmark now so you can make
quick reference to it whenever you need.
Because smoking is a low and slow process, make sure vegetable portions are of similar thickness. This helps them cook evenly throughout. We’ll specify how to cut each vegetable in the sections below.

Smoked vegetables are tasty whether you serve them
up by themselves or alongside a delicious smoked meat.

always a good idea too. For greater flavour, add fresh spices and herbs of your
liking.
