Garlic and Herb Smoked Tomatoes



This is great with ribs or chicken. We have an electric water smoker which makes some purists cringe but we crank it up and then go see a movie without any worries.

vine ripe tomatoes, one per person
olive oil
fresh oregano
fresh garlic, finely chopped
chopped shallots
brown sugar
salt & pepper
fresh rosemary

  1. Core tomatoes and split an X down the center, about 1/3rd way.
  2. Cook the shallots and garlic in a bit of olive oil til tender.
  3. Drizzle each tomato with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the next 7 ingredients.
  5. Wrap the tomatoes in foil forming a chimney at top.
  6. Place in smoker at about 225 degrees and cook until tender about and hour & 10 minutes.
