It sits on a base called a majmar, an unglazed brazier full of hot coals that cooks the tagine slowly. In the market place, tagines are lined up with various foods like fish &amp; potatoes, chicken &amp; olives and lemon, or lamb with prunes. They also use small elevated grills in the port areas to cook various fish.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Laos<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Although the people of Laos do grill some items, including water beetles, they mostly make soup in large pots set over an open wood fire.\u00a0 This is much like the American style of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideopeneats.com\/cowboy-cooking\/\">cowboy cooking<\/a>. Vegetables, sprouts, and noodles are often added to the broth to make the traditional Laotian daily dish.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Guatemala<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Guatemalans use a method of wood cooking known as three stone cooking. A fire is started between 3 fire proof materials, usually stones that are used to support pots placed over the fire.\u00a0 Pepian, the national dish of Guatemala, is a mouth-watering chicken stew made with different types of native chilis, seeds, and vegetables.\u00a0 In addition to hand-crafted tortillas, it takes 3-4 hours to make this recipe traditionally over a fire.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Argentina<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Here they call barbecue asado and it is certainly about the meat.\u00a0 Vegetables, calamari, bread, and other foods are introduced to fire and heated either on heavy grates or iron pans.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>India<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the biggest misconceptions is that tandoori is a recipe from India.\u00a0 That couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.\u00a0 Tandoori is a technique of grilling meat over fire in a tandoor, a clay oven.\u00a0 The tandoor is buried.\u00a0 Heat escapes from the top.\u00a0 Tandoori is very hot!\u00a0 Skewered meat or fish is inserted into the tandoor vertically to cook.\u00a0 The traditional bread, Naan, is placed along the sides of the clay vessel.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Korea<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Koreans use a very unique method of wood fire cooking while at the same time utilizing the heat from that fire to heat their homes.\u00a0 They are one of the earliest users of radiant heat.\u00a0 Outside the home, a fire proof container is hung over the fire area.\u00a0 A series of flues travel horizontally under the house.\u00a0 <em>Ondol<\/em> is a layer of flat stone located directly beneath the house floor.<em>\u00a0 <\/em>A chimney flue is located on the opposite side of the house from the fire source preventing any smoke from entering the actual home.\u00a0 As the smoke travels through the underground flue system, it acts as a preservative to the wood house by preventing insects, mold, and bacteria from developing.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Don\u2019t Think All Wood-Fired Cooking is BBQ<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The variety of foods and techniques noted are not considered BBQ but have traditions that originate in every corner of the world.\u00a0 Through trial and error, sourcing material that was available in each country, and incorporating foods and other edible items into recipes to feed families, fire cooking has advanced in some countries, while others still have seen little change.<\/p>\n<p>Now we see the essence of barbecue by other names in other countries.\u00a0 Asado in Argentina, braai in South Africa, lechon in Philippines, mezze in Lebanon, and parrilla in Uruguay.\u00a0 Without question, the days of fire cooking are far from over as our innate nature seeks the flavors only provide by flame and smoke.
