All the benefits of smoked meat in Keto soup
Humans have been consuming smoked meat for centuries. In fact, it could be one of the oldest preservation techniques that are still extremely popular in the Mediterranean zone.
The most famous smoked meat product from the Mediterranean zone is called Pancetta. Chances are you have already tried it in some Italian restaurant or deli. Smoked meat, in some countries, is consumed raw and it’s totally safe to consume it that way.
Greek Goes Keto couple live in such country during the winter and we use smoked meat both for cooking and as cold cuts almost on a daily basis

What is cold smoking?
This is a process in which the meat is exposed to low-temperature smoke above the heat source. The old-fashioned method includes very low open fire that is kept for days. Cold-smoking does not cook meat or fish but it preserves it nicely.
As you know, it’s totally safe to consume smoked salmon or meat without cooking them. This preparation method also gives a specific smokey aroma which then is ideal for cooking and aromatising.

Smoking meat works both through drying and the utilisation of chemicals present in the smoke. Formaldehyde and also some alcohols from burned wood smoke work as natural preservatives. All these chemicals from smoke can kill microbes and slow fat

What about the flavour of smoked meat in Keto soup?
When we burn wood, it often breaks down into elements that give the aroma and taste similar to caramel, cinnamon, vanilla… Smoking also helps some people the digestion of meat. Especially if the smoked meat has been boiled in the Keto soup as we will be doing in this recipe.
The traditional smoked beef that we used here, is treated with garlic, salt and pepper. Nothing more!

I’m I’m not a big fan of smoked meat on its own, but I’m going to try this. I think the flavor is just too much for me eating straight up smoked meat. This seems like a good compromise!
