Your missing a trick with tofu then. You need some corn flour with spices to dust it in and then deep fry it before dropping it in your choice of sauce. See I can do healthy veggie stuff.

And you can make water taste of blackcurrant by lobbing a load of Ribena into it!

Well yes. I mostly cook when the OH says we're eating to much meat. But it can be pretty good. Chicken breast is bland as fuck as well but you can make tasty stuff with it.

I think we're all on to something here. I bought some ham yesterday for sandwiches. Tiny amounts of slightly better then the reformed stuff for way to much. Stuck in my mind what I was eating just before. I can buy pork leg from Aldi and make my own which I plan to do a lot more off. Chicken thigh is nicer then breast for many dishes.
However how the animals are raised does make a massive difference. If I was a richer man I'd spend a lot more on my meat. I was lucky enough to be bought a meat box for my birthday from a butchers in Swaledale and the stuff was awesome.

I think the point of tofu is its a blank canvas and accepts flavours really well.
We order from Lembas twice a year, they're great for things like bulk spices and dried beans, but have a high minimum spend. Luckily my partner gets her toiletries from there so it isn't so hard. Anyway we got a multi pack of their tofu. It's pre smoked, but also the firmest tofu I've found. So I can cut really small for maximum taste.

If ido it again I’ll use a much firmer block and squeeze it dry too.

Was it good? I’ve been lurking on this thread whilst trying to convince the vegan I need a smoker. This might sway him

It was. Next time I’ll smoke with a stronger flavoured wood, and for a bit longer. I’ll make sure it’s been well pressed. This was still a bit wet. We used it in an etouffee where the smokiness really helped the flavour.

Have you had any other thoughts for smoked vegan food? Quite a few of my partnera friends don't eat meat, so ideas would be good!

Sundried tomatoes take a cold smoke very well.
You can also cold smoke olive oil on its own.

I've not got cold smoking kit (yet). But something I want!

Marcus was a vegetarian for years before coming back to the dark side so he has some decent recipes.

OK. That sounds nice!
Ha. Unless it was from a very decent kebab house I think you'd be pleasently suprised.

"Dry brining" a pork shoulder tonight for a smoke tomorrow. I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but it does no harm. Think I'm going to try a smoked mac and cheese to go with it. OH already pulling faces about that, so might have to do some salad or something to go with it as well. Also got another leg to cure and this time get on the smoker! I want to go equilibrium style, but after braving Aldi on a Saturday lunchtime, I forgot the large zip lock bags. So back tomorrow.

Ah. Forgot the question. What's smoked chicken like? I imagine the smoke flavour is great, but I normally cook chicken quite hot and fast. I'm limited in my smoker to quite low temps and my thoughts are to do a pack of drumsticks for lunches in the week and if it's on for the pork, might as well use the space to cook something else.

I’ve always done my chicken on a rotisserie so it is slow but still gets a nice finish on the outside as it is direct heat.
I guess it depends on what temps you’re running at.

That sounds nice (and a toy I don't have yet). I'm going to aiming between 115 to 120 tomorrow for the pork, but can crank it up to the max 130 whilst it's on it's rest.
Oh nice. Did you spatchcock it or anything. Maybe I should just grab a whole bird instead. How long did it take?

I did an applewood smoked chicken once and found it slightly sickly, especially as the skin didn't really get nice and crispy like you do with a proper roast. Could probably improve on it with some practice though
Burnt lettuce and green sauce is very popular - also technically salad

did practically nothing to it, bit of rubbed in spices, popped it in whole, 4 hours or so, with a steam bowl thing to stop it drying out.
im well keen to do a spachcocked one though and probably will next time

So I obviously made a mix up last night and rubed salt all over my pork leg for pulled pork. Realised my mistake this morning when I went to cure the ham.
So smoked roast pork tonight and a ham from pork shoulder
