Smoking meat is a great way of adding flavour to a dish and it may be the last thing you would think of when preparing a carpaccio recipe. However, smoking carpaccio on hay is something we really recommend, as it produces a great flavour sensation. As the temperature is moderate, the inside of the meat remains raw.
INGREDIENTS
For the apple
- 30 g raisins
- splash of dark rum
- 6 star apples (small apples)
- 250 ml vanilla custard
- 8 tbsp apple syrup
- 4 tbsp honey
- 15 g almond shavings
- vanilla ice cream for serving
- 1 sprig of mint
PREPARATION IN ADVANCE
- Put the raisins in a bowl and add a splash of rum. Leave the raisins to steep for 30 minutes. Optional: soak the Wooden Grilling Plank in water for an hour.
PREPARATION
- Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the Stainless Steel Grid, to 190°C. Hollow out the star apples using a melon baller. Make sure to not pierce the bottom of the apples! Drain the raisins and mix into the vanilla custard. Pour a tablespoon of apple syrup in each apple and fill with the vanilla custard and raisins. Add half a tablespoon of honey on top and sprinkle with the almond shavings.
- Place the stuffed apples on the Cedar Wooden Grilling Plank. Place it carefully on the grid and close the lid of the EGG. After 5 to 10 minutes, the cedar wood will start smoking and the smouldering bottom and sides will release a superb smoky aroma. Leave the apples to cook and smoke for about 20-25 minutes until soft.
- Remove the Wooden Grilling Plank with the apples from the grid. Share the apples among the plates, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to them and garnish with a leaf of mint.
