SMOKED TOMATOES
A few years ago, I bought a jar of smoked tomatoes at a market in Queensland. They were expensive, but wonderful. I remember using them sparingly and constantly smelling my fingers afterwards until the delicious smoky aroma had gone. Russ just bought me a smoker so I'm keen to try this recipe I found on the net. According to the blurb, these smoky tomatoes give a depth of flavor to all kinds of vinaigrettes, sauces, salsas and soups.

SMOKED TOMATO PASTA SAUCE
This is for a Cameron Stovetop Smoker. I have no idea how well it would adapt to a different type of cooking device. The resulting sauce is smokey and complex, not really Italian, but definately "wow."

Steps:
- Make an aluminum foil "basket" that fits on the top of your smoker rack and allows clearance between the top of the basket and the lid and sides of the smoker.
- Place the tomatoes, whole garlic cloves, and 1/2 cup fresh basil in the basket. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Place 2 to 4 Tablespoons of wood chips in the bottom of your smoker. (I use Apple for this). Assemble smoker according to manufacture's directions.
- Place smoker on burner on high.
- Cover when wisps of smoke begin to rise, and cook 45 to 60 minutes on medium low.
- Remove from heat, keep covered an additional 10 minutes.
- Uncover. Remove the basil and throw it out. (It is bitter and has given all it's flavor out).
- Remove the garlic pods. If you didn't peel them, squeeze the soft garlic out of the peel. Put the garlic into a medium bowl and mash it with a fork.
- Carefully tilt the aluminum basket into the small bowl and pour the liquid into the bowl (about 1/2 cup of tomato juices).
- Chop the tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 cup fresh basil, the caramelized onions and salt. Taste and add additional salt if needed. (We used a pinch of smoked salt and it was amazing).
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, puree some or all with your blender or food processor.
- Serve over cooked pasta with some grated fresh parmesan.

Steps:
- Soak the wood chips in water 1 hour, then prepare your grill for smoking.
- Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Divide the herbs between the disposable pie pans, then add the tomatoes, cut-side down.
- Once the grill reaches 250 degrees F, place the pans with the tomatoes on the cooler side of the grill. Close the grill and let smoke until the tomatoes are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. If using a gas grill, turn off the flame and let the tomatoes sit 10 more minutes (this is not necessary if using charcoal; it imparts more smoky flavor). Remove from the grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for smoking. Roma tomatoes are a good variety to use.
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry before smoking.
- Use a wood chip flavor that you enjoy. Hickory, mesquite, and applewood are all popular choices.
- Smoke the tomatoes for 2-3 hours, or until they are slightly wrinkled and have a smoky flavor.
- Let the tomatoes cool slightly before using them.
Conclusion:
Smoked tomatoes are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be added to salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and pasta dishes. They can also be used as a condiment or as a garnish. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy tomatoes, give smoked tomatoes a try. You won't be disappointed.
