Smoked Cuttlefish With Dried Persimmons & Black Rice!!!

Happy Tuesday Great Cookies of The Smoke!!!

I smoked some simple cuttlefish today...

Thanks for sharing in my dinner...


Pistachio shells used instead of smoking chips...


Dried persimmons to use up...


Fresh tarragon to use up...


A fresh shallot to use up...


I chopped up all - cutting some dried persimmons with scissors...


Plump and succulent raw cuttlefish was around...



I mixed olive oil with a lime I wanted to use up...


And whisked that up...



I doused the cuttlefish with some of that whisked dressing...



And smoked this on high heat with my little gas smoker... (using grill grates, sprayed with an olive oil spray can to host the cuttlefish)...


Meanwhile, I made a pot of black rice on my stove...


And after ten minutes took the cephalopods off the smoker...





And I plated it all together and drizzled the rest of that whisked squeezed lime & olive oil over it all, ground some black pepper on it and also pink Himalayan sea salt...





And simple as it was, it did have texture, flavor, aroma, and LOVE! I could taste each and every ingredient - from the nutty al dente rice to the squeezed lime and even black pepper!




Smoked cuttlefish is one of my favorite foods, and the dried persimmons were lovely with it all!



Here's to getting rid of whatever is lingering around in YOUR home today, and also having a fabulous Tuesday - in every way!


Thanks for sharing!!!
