Smoked Side Dishes

Variety is the spice of life. The recipes for smoked side dishes you'll find on this page are the perfect match for those smoky ribs and tender brisket.

Try these recipes next time you fire up the old smoker. Not only do they taste great, but I heard somewhere that veggies are good for you, too. Now that's a winning combination!

Here are a few of my favorite...

Smoked Side Dishes

• Smoked Almond Recipe
  This recipe is lightly flavored with seasoned salt, sugar and onion powder. It can be made really exciting with the addition of some cayenne pepper powder.
• Bacon Wrapped Sausage Appetizers
  For great tasting appetizers to munch on as the ribs and brisket are cooking, try these little bacon wrapped wonders.
• Smoke Dried Tomatoes
  These make a tasty snack, or can be used as an ingredient in dips and soups.
• Smoky Portobella Mushrooms
  Excellent as a side to your ribs or brisket, or they can be eaten as a light main course.
• Smoky Baked Beans
  This bean recipe comes close to duplicating the famous beans found at Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue.

These recipes aren't smoked, but grilled. They're so good that I wouldn't feel right NOT including 'em here!

• Grilled Stuffed Mushrooms
  Fire up the grill while those Cornish game hens are smoking and cook up a mess of these tasty stuffed mushrooms. Crab meat and green onions mixed in a corn muffin batter fills these mushrooms with great taste.
• Grilled Vegetables
  Add some color to your next smoke feast...grill up a few veggies to compliment the meal. Veggies cook quickly on the grill, so there's no reason not to grill a few.
