Smoked Mango Salsa & Smoked Guacamole 

Recipes by  Chef Austin

You can not beat the flavor of smoked foods - but smoked foods don't just have to be pulled pork or chicken. Easily infuse fresh tomatoes and ripe avocados with a smokey essence using the Cameron's Stovetop Smoker. Rain or shine, bring smoking indoors and create flavors that you'd never imagine. I love that Cameron's also gives me a plethora of wood chips to choose from when making recipes. Check out this smoked salsa and guacamole recipe we make with Cameron's indoor smoker.

Directions:

Step 1
Load the Camerons Stovetop Smoker with 1.5 Tbsp of a light smoking wood such as maple, pecan, or cherry wood. Place the metal drip tray of over the wood chips and then place the wire rack into the pan. Add half of the sliced tomatoes onto the rack (you can also add avocados too if you are also making smoked guacamole - recipe below).

Step 2
Slide the lid on and set stove to medium heat. After around 5 minutes, you should see a small stream of smoke coming from the sides. Let tomatoes smoke for 10 minutes then remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes to continue to infuse.

In a large bowl, add smoked tomatoes, reserved unsmoked tomatoes, onion, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro. 

 

Step 4
Blend with an immersion blender until desired consistency. 

 

Step 5
Mix in diced mango and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or you can store in the fridge for flavors to intensify.
