Notes
Chef's Tips- These smoky tomatoes give a depth of flavor to all kinds of vinaigrettes, sauces, salsas and soups.
- If you have a stovetop smoker, it's a quick 20-30 minute technique.Otherwise, have some tomatoes ready to put on the outdoor smoker or grill after you've finished cooking another dish.
