Tomato Sauce
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown[p]20 Roma tomatoes, halved and seeded
1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup finely diced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon roughly chopped oregano leaves
1 tablespoon roughly chopped thyme leaves

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. [p]In 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans place tomato halves cut side up. Sprinkle with oil, salt and pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs. Bake tomatoes for 2 hours, then turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake another 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and process tomatoes through a food mill on medium dye setting over a small saucepan. Discard skins. Add white wine and cook on low heat covered for 30 minutes.

    Mort,[p]The egg is great for roasting veggies, and anything else you do with them after will get a little fire roasted taste. I wouldn't use anything for smoke, maaaybe just a little bit of grape vines if you have them.[p]I have a garden with my brother and we do all our prep for salsas, bisques, etc on the egg.[p]David B.

    Mort,[p]My smoked salsa is a great hit! I have often remarked that merely smoking tomatoes would make great tomato sauce, but my love of salsa has consumed everything I grew.[p]I highly recommend trying. I smoke my tomatoes and peppers for salsa at about 225 for 1.5 - 2.5 hours. I use a plate setter to protect the veggies (and fruit for the purists).[p]Buckeye Bill
