The mercury is dropping, Mother Nature is no longer in the mood and is sharing her own moods with us by sending us cold and clouds! It is high time to react in the same way as the latter and start cold smoking (let's fight the clouds, with clouds... of smoke). Cold smoking is a great unexplored world that deserves to be discovered.
We often hear about cold-smoked salmon, but this form of smoking is not limited to fish. You can actually smoke ANYTHING that is not hot-smoked. It's time to turn into a mad scientist and experiment with just about everything; sauces, chips, alcohol, spices, cheeses and the subject of this blog: nuts.
In this experiment, I used almonds, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, and cashews (note that you can use any nuts you like).
Procedure: First, you need to coat the nuts in avocado oil and sprinkle them with a Kansas spice mix to amplify the BBQ flavor (because we like it when it tastes like BBQ).What you will need:
Then, while the outside ambient temperature is 0 to 10 degrees Celsius, light the pellets inside the A-Maze-N smoking labyrinth and place it on the grill inside any BBQ. The smoke is then just as easily activated and ready to cling to the food and thus transmit the desired good smoke taste.
Then place the nuts on a plate next to the Smoking Maze so that the action begins. Close the BBQ lid and let the magic happen for about 50 minutes in the case of nuts. Note that the longer you let the smoke work, the more pronounced the smoke taste will be on the food you are smoking.
Then remove the nuts and enjoy the perfect snack for your fall hikes and holiday shopping. In short, a versatile snack that is easy to make and delicious in the mouth. Cold smoking, one of the ideal activities to forget the gray weather that Mother Nature tends to give us in November, enough to beat the clouds with clouds of smoke, it is the best way to turn your gray days into pleasant and succulent days.
