Smoked Tomato Butter
Source of Recipe
somewhere on the internet
List of Ingredients
1 large vine ripened tomato
1 c. salted tomato juice
1/4 c. butter, room temperature
1 tbsp. cream, optionalRecipe
Prepare grill or smoker according to instructions for smoking small
quantities. Smoke tomato (over indirect heat if using grill) until
somewhat darkened and shriveled. This can take anywhere from
20 minutes to an hour, depending on the method.
Or roast the tomato in the oven: Halve horizontally, place cut side
up in a baking pan and roasted at 450 for 20 minutes. The flavor
won't be as smoky, but it's still good.
Puree roasted tomato with tomato juice, and strain. Transfer to a
small saucepot over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat
and simmer for 10 minutes.
Just before serving, add butter, 1 tbsp. at a time. Don't boil, or the
butter will break down and separate. Whisk in cream
and serve immediately.
Makes about 1 cup.
