Smoked Tomatoes
Ripe plum tomatoes are marinated with olive oil and herbs, then smoked at low temperature. The smoke aroma greatly intensifies the natural umami flavor of the tomatoes. Ideal for sauces, salsa, or as a side dish.

Instructions
Preparation
30 minutesWash and halve tomatoes, lightly hollow out the core with a spoon. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves. Slice garlic thinly and place on top of tomatoes.
Smoking
2-3 hoursPreheat smoker to 90-110 °C. Place tomatoes cut-side up on the smoking rack. Use cherry and apple wood chips. Smoke tomatoes for 2-3 hours until soft and the skin slightly shrinks.
Cooling and Storage
15 minutesRemove tomatoes from the smoker and let cool briefly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or preserve in olive oil for longer shelf life.
Pro Tip
Place tomatoes cut-side up on the smoking rack so the juice doesn't run off and the smoke flavor is better absorbed.
