Title: Italian theme potluck
Post by: imajesusgeek on September 23, 2008, 10:44:37 PM
Hey guys,

working is having a Italian themed potlock and trying to think of something I can smoke for it.  Any suggestions?  Of course it doesn't have to be strict italian but couldn't think of anything that would be considered Italian that was smoked.

How about making some smoked Italian meatballs.
They can be mixed into a lot of different types of italian dishes.

Where do I start?!

First, I think you can call it "Italian Style" if it has plenty of garlic, rosemary, sage, olive oil, and salt/pepper.

I don't know of too many Italian recipes that call for what we think of as "low and slow" cooking, but smoking was used as a preservative means. 

If you're looking to add a smoke component to a dish, maybe you might want to cold smoke your meat/fish/chicken for a brief period and then finish up the dish as called for in the recipe. 

Good luck!

Ya might just try some spicy Italian Sausage with the smoke of your choice and a quick finish on the grill. I have impressed a few Italian friends with this, I guess they dont do that to much. Served on a roll with some grilled-smoked onions, mixed with some tasty spaghetti sauce, [I like all the Paul Newmens stuff]. Have some fresh ground Parmisian availible and you will have a crowd pleaser! The sausage links I have been using are from Costco. Might be Evergood, not sure.
