Smoked Tomatoes
Submitted by: Bill & Brenda Miller BillAndBrenda@TheMillerHouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 or 2 medium tomatoes per person (we use two!)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Basil
  • Parsley flakes

    Directions:

  • Slice off about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the stem end of each tomato.
  • Make another smaller slice at the opposite (blossom) end.  Make this slice so that the tomatoes will sit flat with with first cut at the top.
  • Remove any remaining portion of the stem.
  • Rub the tomatoes with olive oil. We spill some into the stem hole as well.
  • Add salt, pepper, basil, and parsley to taste.
  • Light the Egg and bring to 225°
  • Place the tomatoes on the grid so they are shielded from the direct heat of the fire. See our recipe for smoked trout.
  • Allow 20 to 30 mins for the tomatoes to become soft. Serve hot.

    Serving Suggestion:

  • These go very well with the cottage cheese mixture from Kaye's Stuffed Tomatoes.
