From Clean Eating magazine. Posting for safekeeping. Interesting that this is never put into a smoker just put in a refrigerator. Magazine says "Don't be overwhelmed by the two days needed to make this recipe-there's only 10 minutes of actual work." Besides using as an appetizer, breakfast side, on sandwiches, try piled on Clean Eggs Benedict in lieu of the portobello mushrooms.
