Ingredients

  • 8 plum tomatoes (about 2 pounds), halved and seeded
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 sprigs rosemary or thyme
  • 2 cups hickory, cherrywood or applewood chips
  • 2 9 -inch-round disposable aluminum pie pans
  • Soak the wood chips in water 1 hour, then prepare your grill for smoking.

Method

  • 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.
