Simple to make, and a ton of flavour, this Smoked Tomato sauce will be different from all tomato sauce you’ve tasted before.
Ingredients
4 large, ripe tomatoes (I used heirloom tomatoes)
3 cloves of garlic, halved
¼ white onion, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Directions
1. Quarter tomatoes and place on an aluminum tray
2. Smoke tomatoes for 1.5 hours at 200°F with hickory bisquettes
3. Heat olive oil on low-medium heat in a medium sized saucepan
4. Add garlic and onion and sauté until translucent
5. Add smoked tomatoes to the saucepan and simmer on low heat for 1 hour, or until sufficiently reduce. Stir on a regular basis to keep sauce from sticking to the base of the pan
6. Add balsamic vinegar and salt & pepper to taste
7. I prefer my tomato sauce with more texture, but if you prefer a smoother sauce, puree the sauce in a blender or with a hand blender to desired texture
