Smoked Tomatoes

1. 1

   Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Divide the herbs between the disposable pie pans, then add the tomatoes, cut-side down.

3. 3

   Once the grill reaches 250 degrees F, place the pans with the tomatoes on the cooler side of the grill.

4. 4

   Close the grill and let smoke until the tomatoes are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.

5. 5

   If using a gas grill, turn off the flame and let the tomatoes sit 10 more minutes (this is not necessary if using charcoal; it imparts more smoky flavor).

6. 6

   Remove from the grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
