Trying something new today...

My daughter brought down a boatload of tomatoes from her garden and wanted marinara sauce. I thought I'd smoke the tomatoes on the Yoder and make Italian gravy...



About 20 minutes per side at 225 degrees F. using sugar maple. Then -- when cool -- peeled the skins off and made marinara with the usual mix of onion, celery, carrots and herbs.

That sounds like a great idea; you could use those smoked tomatoes to build a fantastic pizza sauce as well

Thanks for posting!

Yesterday it was smoking the tomatoes and peeling them. Today it's making pizza sauce...





Everyone in the pool! Celery, onion, garlic, carrot, bay leaves, herbs and spices for a five-minutes sauté in olive oil and butter.




Then the smoked tomatoes got added to the mirepoix and simmered for about an hour. After it simmers and gets to the right consistency, I'll hit it with the immersion blender or use the Cuisinart to make a smooth sauce for tonight's grilled pizza.

Unfortunately one of the pizza crusts that I was cooking on the Broilmaster turned to charcoal but the one done on the Yoder was fantastic. I was in a hurry so I never got pics of the finished pizza... sorry.

It was the first time I'd done pizza on the Yoder but it won't be the last!

Still more garden-fresh tomatoes...

So I made a rustic marinara...



Sugar maple smoked tomatoes (peeled and seeded), sautéed onion, celery and carrots along with fresh basil, oregano, parsley and lots of garlic. And about a teaspoon or so of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Froze the marinara for future use. Before using I'll add some more fresh basil and a tablespoon of good-quality tomato paste.

Ya, it makes the skins peel right off. I usually take the stem off with a shark before smoking. Only done it with globe tomatoes but I guess Roma would also work (you'd just need a lot more of them).

Just the right amount of smoke! Makes for killer marinara or bolognaise sauce.
