pan smoke

Pan smoking is a technique when wood chips/shavings are put in the bottom of a dry pan, a rack with food on it is placed over the wood chips so they're not touching, and the pan is heated on the stove top until they woods starts smoking, the heat source is removed and the food is covered shortly to impart a smoky flavor. We made a smoked sweet potato puree to go with pan seared wild stripe bass, black beans, coconut rice, and grapefruit salsa. Beautiful colors, beautiful food.
