Looking to incorporate less meat into my diet so I made this alternative to chicken shawarma. It didn’t say in the recipe if the tofu was supposed to be crunchy just golden. I might try cooking it in the air fryer next time. Overall pretty pleased with the flavors and would definitely make this again.

That is a lot tomato paste. I might sub out 1 tsp tomato paste and add 1 tsp harissa.

Is there an advantage that you like in that style over the grate in a normal kettle grill?

The fat seems to drip faster making the meat "leaner". Also, added smoke ring to the meat. It's a slow cooking technique if you keep an eye on the fire. We use charcoal at the bottom and it can cook for 3 to 4 hours depending on the size of the cut.

Edit: not my picture but you'll get the idea of how we do it. Pictured tri-tip, chorizo, and ribs.

What are those thermometers and do you like them?

Edit: or are they just hooks? I assumed they were probe thermometers.

Yes, those are stainless hooks. The barrel does a good job regulating temps - you have to set the opening at the bottom of the barrel correctly. The meat drips into the coals providing extra flavor to the smoke. Easiest smoker to run and clean - I have tried them all except for the pellet style. It's also the only smoker that I bought a replacement after wearing out the first one.....
 
Veggie lasagna!!!
Here’s the recipe:

Vegetable Lasagna with White Sauce

This hearty vegetable lasagna with white sauce is a vegetarian dinner with a homemade béchamel sauce, broccoli, zucchini, and other veggies.
itsavegworldafterall.com itsavegworldafterall.com

Here are my modifications: first and foremost, I subbed in gluten free noodles and Redmill’s gluten free 1:1 flour. An alternative gluten free option for flour could also be cornstarch but I like the texture the flour makes for the bechamel sauce.

Of course, I added more cheese, more spinach, and more seasoning than the recipe and I just used an Italian seasoning blend instead of all the separate seasonings. Now the most important mod is with the ricotta layer. I added an egg, a half cup of ramano cheese and some fresh parsley (and salt and pepper). This is always how my mom made her ricotta layer and it seems wrong to do any other way.
