Gourmet Food on a Budget
If you don’t have access to an outdoor barbecue or grill, you can safely smoke foods indoors with a stovetop smoker. All you need is some wood chips, foil, and a large, deep pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let’s get smokey!
These smoky barbecue roasted potatoes are called chips across the pond. These are easy to make on your grill. They are perfect for Memorial Day, the 4th of July, or that last Labor Day barbecue. Go out, get some potatoes, and get crackin’!
Many of us are familiar with the scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
This stovetop smoked brisket is cooked three ways to give it a unique flavor, moistness, and tenderness. You get the great smoke flavor from smoking on the stovetop, tenderness from the Instant Pot, and a wonderful sauce from the Dutch oven.
Stovetop smoked salmon is so easy to make and tastes out of this world good. I serve it with creamy dill sauce, steamed new potatoes, broccoli, and white wine. You will seriously wonder why you haven’t made this before.
Apartment dwellers, rejoice! Yes, you, too, can savor the magical taste of smoked food, right from your apartment, no need to go outside. Yup, that’s right, smoking food on top of your stove and not having the smoke alarm blaring. All you need is a stockpot with a pasta insert, some foil, some wood chips, some protein, and a little bit of patience.
The recipe I am referring to here is one I did a while ago on the Weber grill, indirect method and I was curious if this method would give me similar results. I am happy to say it did. Feel free to use the Weber version of Highway Chicken if you want to go this outdoors.
