I have been in a cooking funk for the last couple of months. It has been a while since I have fired up the pellet grill. Not exactly sure why. However I had a souper idea that peaked my interest and restored a bit of motivation.
I smoked a half bushel of tomatoes at 375* for about 2 hours with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and three heads of garlic. When they were done I removed the tomato skins and blended the tomatoes with the garlic, caramelized onions, and fresh basil. I got about 5 quarts of tomato soup and a quart of tomato juice. I was pleased with the results.
The hot sauce thread was also inspirational! Last week I ended up wit an assortment of hot peppers, so it looks like a batch might soon be in the works.
