Pastrami and ABTs
Apr 7th, 2008 by Paul
I fired up the smoker yesterday and prepared two smoked dishes, Pastrami and Atomic Buffalo Turds ( ABTs ). Pastrami is one of my favourite deli meats and has been on my ‘to-do’ list for quite some time. When looking for recipes for Pastrami I came across one for ABTs which I’d seen before, but decided it was time to make.
The Pastrami was a store bought Corned Beef ( with a herb crust ) which I soaked in brine ( no salt ) overnight to help draw out some of the salt in it. I then cooked it in the smoker at 100 C for about 4 hours. I roughly covered it in foil so the smoke wouldn’t sit heavy on it.
The ABTs are Jalepeno’s stuffed with Chorizo, and feta, wrapped in bacon ( which has been rubbed with a cajun rub ) and smoked for the same amount of time.
Both turned out amazingly well. Sorry about the blurry photos.
