To give the foods that intense and persistent flavor, typical of the smoked product, it is not essential to buy ready-made foods or go to a restaurant. We can accomplish smoking at home: a way simple, economical and ecological to embellish and make your favorite dishes tastier.

THE PROCEDURE

First we must find a suitable place. Of course, the optimal solution would be to use a room in our home but, given the increasingly limited size of the living spaces, we can safely use our dear old oven, which must be strictly turned off. In fact, we will need it only as a room… smoker.

WHAT YOU NEED: perforated pan e ecological charcoal
First thing place a pan with holes on the stove on the bottom, one of those used to roast chestnuts, e leave it on the fire until it gets hot.
At this point put some ecological charcoal, add herbs to taste, such as rosemary, bay leaf, lavender, a little straw to make some smoke and a spoon of sugar, which you will throw directly on the embers.

Cover everything with a lid and place it on the bottom of the oven.

In top shelf put a pan with ice e above another perforated container where you will arrange the foods you want to smoke (for example meat, salmon or fish in general, oil) by adding some sale.

REMEMBER!
To have a good smoke you have to let four hours pass during which you will have to remove, from time to time, the herbs now burnt e re-heat the embers.

At the end of the smoking process you will need to create one mixture for cooling: fill a large container with a liter of water, two kilos of ice and a kilo of coarse salt; then put the pieces of meat / fish in a food bag da freezing e immerse everything in the cold brine that you have prepared. By following this procedure in a short time the temperature will drop significantly.

At this point your smoked foods will be ready!
