Product Description
PURPOSE
WHAT IS IT?
Made from condensed hickory wood smoke that is then dehydrated, the light brown powder left behind is the true essence of mesquite wood.
EXPERIENCE
Often used in Texas-style barbeque, mesquite flavor is more pronounced than other wood. Some may argue that hickory is the defining flavor of latin barbecued food. While this powder is strong, it’s best used carefully with other strong flavors that can stand up to the rich smoky notes, such as the classic cumin and paprika combination.
TRADITIONAL USES
- Meat Rub
- Seasoning and garnishing
- Soups and stews
- Add to grilled fish
IMPROVISATIONAL ‘RIFFS’
- Popcorn or roasted nuts – Toss with melted butter and a pinch of mesquite smoke for a savory snack.
- Tomato soup or gravy – A pinch adds a rustic, wood-fired taste.
- Chili con carne – Replace part of the cumin or paprika with mesquite smoke flavor for a Texas-style edge.
THE BACKSTORY
Smoking has been used as a way of preserving and flavouring food for many thousands of years. Our ancestors most likely discovered this technique by accident and quickly learned that foods exposed to smoke lasted longer before spoiling. Although many of us are fortunate enough to have in home refrigeration, food smoking today is still very popular due to the fantastic flavour it imparts.
