It is just so hard to be able to describe the taste of fire roasted tomatoes. It is just over the top delicious. It is one of the simplest menus but this is just the perfect example of the beauty of simplicity. A simpler thing to do is of course purchase the canned fire roasted tomatoes. But of course this means that you will miss all the fun of playing with fire in the backyard.
Preparing fire roasted tomatoes are not difficult and it would be so much fun to do with friends or families or during one of those backyard bbq. This is one of those foods that can be gotten right in only one try and once you tried it, you will want to do it again and again. The taste is so much better than if you buy those canned ones. This is because you can add the spices that you like and leave out those you do not like. You can even add olive oil if you feel like it and this certainly is not available in any canned fire roasted tomatoes.
It will take only 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to burn, then you can have all the delicious taste. The fire roasted tomatoes are perfect to be combined with a salsa, pasta sauce, soup or chili. The ingredients that you will need include one to two dozens of tomatoes depending on their sizes and of course the olive oil.
Cooking instructions:
- Brush the grates with olive oil before the fire is started.
- Let the fire burn for a while so that the heat would be perfect, then lower it to medium heat.
- Use the brush and olive oil again, but this time for the tomatoes. But if you do not like it, then you can miss out this step.
- Place those tomatoes on the grill. You can halve them of place the whole batch at once. Once again this would depend on the sizes of the tomatoes.
- Grill for 5 to 9 minutes until you can see that there are char on them. Then flip the tomatoes over and wait for the same amount of time.
- Take them off the grill and then place them in a dish with tinfoil cover or plastic wrap so that the temperature will not decrease to fast.
- Once cooled, you can remove the blackened skins and enjoy them.
