这种酱汁的特征取决于甜和烟熏味的对比。对于甜味，仅使用最成熟的夏季（牛排）西红柿。对于烟熏味，如果您有烟熏的番茄在室外烤架或吸烟者中抽烟。西红柿需要热吸烟，以便它们不仅散发烟熏味，而且还可以略微焦糖。当我向烹饪课上展示这种酱汁时，我使用旧的荷兰烤箱或其他殴打的锅里钻了一个室内吸烟者。我在铝箔上放了一杯木屑，将它们直接放在锅底。我将西红柿放在碎屑上的馅饼锅中（由小模子抬高），盖住锅，然后将其放在中低火上。但是，这种方法可以充满浓郁的烟熏气味，因此这里的食谱描述了一种在室外烤架上吸烟的简便方法。这种多功能的酱汁冻结得很好，值得在更大的批次上供以后使用。

Preparation

Light a charcoal grill, using enough coals to make a hot fire on one side of the kettle. Fill a container with 2 cups of wood chips (use heavy-duty foil to make an open package, or use a small cast-iron pan or steel chip box). Fit the cored tomatoes snugly in a disposable aluminum cake pan. Tuck a garlic clove into each tomato where the core came out. When the fire is ready, put the container of wood chips into the grill, next to the hot coals. Put the pan of tomatoes on the grill grate, across from but not directly over the hot coals. Cover, leaving the air vents open to keep the heat going. You should see smoke coming from the wood chips. Check on the fire every 15 minutes, adding more charcoal as needed to keep a hot fire going and more wood chips if needed. Rotate the pan of tomatoes occasionally so that different sides are closest to the heat. Smoke the tomatoes until they’re very soft, their skins are darkened, and they’ve released their juices, 45 to 75 minutes. Remove the pan from the grill and let the tomatoes cool slightly.

小心地将西红柿，大蒜和锅中的所有果汁转移到搅拌机中，然后加工直至光滑。加入辣椒辣椒味。通过培养基或粗筛应变，按下以迫使大多数固体穿过。准备好食用时，将酱汁带到一个小锅中的小火锅中。搅拌黄油，调味酱汁，喝几滴香醋，盐和胡椒粉。保持温暖。
