Todays smoke for the evening meal

smoking b · Dec 20, 2012

Well, I was sad because I hadn't smoked anything for a few days

so I did some pondering. This is what I settled on...

I put olive oil, salt, pepper & fresh squeezed garlic juice on them.

I experimented with this one. I flattened it out - I showed no mercy! Once flattened I lined it with provolone & swiss cheese. On top of that I put a little homegrown basil, thyme, oregano & a lil fresh pressed garlic. I rolled it all up into a log & held it together with a couple toothpicks. I put olive oil, salt, pepper & fresh squeezed garlic juice on it then also...

I heated up the MES to 225* & put them in. I smoked them heavily with corn cob & took them to an IT of 165*

Sliced pic so you can see how juicy it turned out...

The flattened & rolled piece tasted very good indeed - nice blend of flavors!

I cut up one of the others & put it on a bed of rice & topped it off with homemade sauce. I also made some french fries from my potatoes but forgot to snag a pic in the midst of my feeding frenzy. It turned out to be a pretty good meal that I would make again. I have a breast left over for tomorrow as well

Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome...

Looks good.....

Looks like you're on ROLL...LOL!!! I like the ingredients in the filling...lots of fresh flavors...sounds like a winner...and corn cob smoke, man, that's gotta be a smooth and sweet touch for an already great flavor combination.

I don't see a thing wrong with it, in fact, I can see myself sitting in front of that plate, right now! Looks like a nice dinner, brother!

BTW, don't flip the "off" switch...smoke when you can, and smoke whatever you feel like...it will all be great eating.

Thanks for sharing a fine meal with us!

Thanks Eric - I think the corn cob really helped blend the flavors nicely. I actually just stumbled upon your post where you did something similar on your grill. I like your idea of freshly grated cheese on top - I was in such a hurry to pig out once I tasted the chicken that the thought never crossed my mind. I will try that out the next time I make this & let you know how it works out. Thanks for the idea!

On second thought I may just try that out today with the left over piece. I will report on how it turned out & compare it to what I did last night...

Oh, that must have been the char-grilled breast over white rice with tomato sauce...had me scratchin' my head for a minute or 2...that was a while back...yeah, that dish could have used some grated cheese...didn't think about it until after the fact. Hey, you'd probably like to do a variation of a smoked chicken and dutch oven rice dish I made a while back...Southwestern theme, with a spicy rub and rice seasoning as well...smoked chix pieces (thighs) over dutch oven cooked (could be stove-top as well, with a heavy pot) rice, carrots, celery and tomatoes with chilies, topped with grated mozz...it's in my signature line towards the bottom, if you're interested...OK the link is HERE.

How'd you make out with the second round? Did you change it up with different fillings, seasonings or smoke?

Hey Eric that recipe looks pretty good too! I will give that a try soon as well. I didn't get to do much of anything for my meal tonight - I lost power & just got it back recently. I ended up with just a spicy burger & potatoes on the grill with a side of corn cooked by the light of a storm lantern. I was just getting ready to start a fire when the power came back on.

As soon as I get a chance to try out the cheese I will let you know how it turned out - same with your other recipe. Thanks for the ideas!

I first heated up the leftover piece & melted a little provolone on it

Put it on a small bed of rice (roughly 1643 or so grains

) & added some homemade sauce. I added some parmesan cheese on top & just a tiny amount of oregano.

Closer view of the food.

Well I must say that it was very good this way as well - thanks for the idea Eric!
