In our modern twist on all-American barbecue, we swap slow-cooked meat for vegetarian-friendly portobello mushrooms. Cut into matchsticks and enhanced with a tabletop smoke infuser, then sautéed and sauced on the stovetop, the mushrooms take on a flavor and texture that mimics smoky, succulent pulled pork. We prefer to use Kansas City-style barbecue sauce—a thick, ketchup- and molasses-based condiment. Its tangy sweetness pairs perfectly with the smoky, umami-packed mushrooms. We make a simple three-ingredient cabbage slaw for the sandwiches, but feel free to use your favorite recipe, or even store-bought. Refer to the device’s instructions to determine how much wood chips to place in the chamber.

DELICIOUS! PREP IS A BIT OF A KILLER, THOUGH!
THIS WAS DELICIOUS - ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO EAT IT! I CONSIDER MYSELF PRETTY GOOD WITH KNIFE SKILLS, BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE 40-MINUTE PREP TIME THAT'S ADVERTISED. REMOVING THE GILLS AND THEN MATCH-STICKING A POUND (OR MORE, IN MY CASE) OF PORTOBELLOS IS SIMPLY NOT GOING TO ALLOW THE WHOLE THING TO BE PREPPED, MUCH LESS COMPLETED, IN 40 MINUTES. BUT, AGAIN, AS A VEGETARIAN, I APPRECIATED AND LOVED THE RECIPE.
