Smoked Tomatoes

Directions

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.
