An idea about having smoke flavor without using liquid smoke: thursday I
dined at a local restaurant and one of the courses was rice with cheese and
diced apple, and it was wonderfully enriched by smoked taste. It came from a
small amount of speck which had been toasted in a skillet to increase it's
"smokedness". With toasted I mean it had been almost burnt, removed from
fire just a minute before being overcooked. The smoked flavor was very
perceptible in spite of the minimal quantity of speck.
