I was wandering around the garage, looking for some saran wrap when I happened upon my stove top smoker.
These are really great when you have a small amount to smoke and you just can’t be bothered to rev up the big boy smoker and/or don’t have a garden to put one in. Like in an apartment. I had four duck legs that I marinated overnight that fit perfectly inside the smoker. I won’t tell you about the marinade; it was okay but not fabulous.
The smoker can fit on one burner or two. I’ve done it both ways and it doesn’t matter.
Smoked duck with a fabulous marinade is great for both salads and sandwiches. The simple dressing I made redeemed the less than marvelous marinade.
Smoked Duck Salad
1 smoked duck leg, sliced
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 small orange tomatoes, seeded and cut into chunks
Leaves from 5 sprigs of fresh coriander
1 handful roquette or mache
2 escarole hearts
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 inch fresh ginger, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 heaping tbsp honey
Juice 1/2 lime
Line two salad plates with the escarole hearts. Toss the onions, tomatoes, coriander and roquette together in a bowl, then mound on top of the escarole. Place duck slices on top.
Mix together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, lime juice and pour over salad.
wow, what a lovely idea. I love the photo of the end product with that beautiful colourful cloth underneath. I have never had tea smoked duck but it sounds delicious.
Thank you Alex!
Wow I want one of those too!
And I want duck again jumm
This is beautiful and looks so delicious! I agree with Alex… what a lovely idea. Happy Cooking!
And to you, Karista.
What a cool little smoker – I like that! Nice looking pics too.
Thank you Roger. I’m so glad I found it.
The tiles in your kitchen are so cute! I love the recipe, but the background caught my eye as super neat. I always wonder what everyone else’s house looks like lol
I had to do a bit of a search for those tiles. So glad I found them.
Well you know I love this one! Glad you dug up the smoker.
Me too! I’ve been looking for it for a while.
This dish looks amazing! I have to find one of those indoor smoke boxes…fabulous!
Thank you.
I really love the smell of mesuite but paired with tea sounds way better, I love the combination it must taste delicious
It was Beti
Yummy! Great pictures!
Thank you
I’ve always wanted to try using a stove-top smoker! Is it not smoky at all? Can you just smell the smoke, but it all gets contained in the smoking box?
Also, did you smuggle mesquite to France? 😉
Actually I have the several small cups of mesquite, alder, oak, hickory and cherry
It all gets contained in the box
I’ve never used a stove top smoker before. It sounds like it would be perfect to use during the cold winter months. Your duck looks gorgeous!
Thank you Tessa. That’s why I was looking for it in the winter months. Now its almost too late 🙁 Grill time 🙂
You continue to cook my favorites! Duck is another of my favorites! You are a cook with a connection to my food soul!
You just like good things like me cj 🙂
How long did you cook the duck legs in the smoker?
Hi Gary. 45 minutes – 1 hour
