How To Fire Roast Tomatoes

1. 1

   Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise (from stem to tip) and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place the tomatoes cut side down over a medium flame on a gas grill. If using a charcoal grill, place the tomatoes in the middle of the grill over briquettes that are medium-hot.

2. 2

   When the tomatoes develop dark char marks (about 5 to 8 minutes depending on size and heat of grill). Continue cooking until the skins begin to blacken in spots. Then, remove the tomatoes from the grill, pile them in a bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

3. 3

   When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins and dice the flesh, making sure to reserve the juices.

4. 4

   Use immediately or pack tomatoes in a freezer proof container with juices.
