What is smoking? Smoking peppers is a kind of cooking vegetables. The peculiarity of this process is that vegetables are treated with smoke, and not with temperature, as during frying and boiling water, as during cooking.
General principles of the process of smoking peppers
Before smoking peppers should be oiled with balsamic vinegar or dipped in marinade. Marinade is made from butter, chopped garlic and herbs.
Further, the vegetables are placed at a certain distance from the source of smoke in places with different temperature conditions.
There are several types of smoking:
Hot - smoking, in which the peppers are treated with smoke at a temperature of 100 degrees. This method is actively used in home cooking, because it takes a little time. The advantage of this type of smoking is that the peppers are juicier.
Wet - smoking by smoke, which is formed when burning wet sawdust. After this method of smoking vegetables differ in delicate taste.
Cold - heat treatment, in which the peppers are placed in a zone with a temperature regime of 25 degrees. This process requires several days, but smoked peppers retain all the beneficial substances.
To smoke peppers at home often use a deep frying pan. It is necessary to lay out the foil on the thick bottom of the container and cover it with sawdust and dry herbs. From above you need to put a grid on which there will be vegetables. Cover with a lid and put on fire.
You can check the readiness of smoked pepper by piercing a vegetable with a toothpick: it should be soft. Properly cooked smoked peppers should have a unique delicate flavor.
