Ok that sounds awesome! Maybe consider spreading them in a pan and smoking them for a while with hickory or mesquite chips and use as a seasoning, maybe with fresh hummus or burgers? I have no idea if that would turn out good, just brain storming here...

I have 3 San Marzano plants with decent sized green tomatoes just starting to turn red, but the blight is hitting them. I just hope I get some decent ones before the plants croak. The rest of my plants (cherokee purples, brandywines, and beefsteaks) are looking decent, with a hint of blight on all, but the tomatoes are well past baseball size, so I think it should be a decent harvest.

We made some tomato sauce for pasta the other night and used the first jar of tomatoes. Damn they came out really good.

I ordered 10 more pounds of Romas to can (no San Marzanos available this week). I’m going to char them on the grill and then dice them before canning.

My previous response was in terms of what to do with the tomato dust, possibly smoking it and using it for seasoning. But grilled tomatoes sounds good.

Out of curiosity, how much tomato dust did you get?

Yeah I figured that. We put some into the sauce but you couldn’t really tell if it had an effect. I think I’m going to try some basic pasta with just the dust.

3 regular sized spice containers.

Nice! That is more than I would have guessed

Personally, I prefer tritip without a ton of smoke(just a little) and I think it does better with moderate direct heat.

(JMO, of course)

I dont like a really heavy smoke flavor...going with pecan

I like tri-tip because I can do it like steak with a reverse sear

I'd try to make some kind of a riff on a BLT with your homemade bacon/some brioche toast etc also. I bet that would be awesome

Yeah I agree with that.

Ooh that’s a good idea. And I have sourdough fermenting for tomorrow.

One of my most favorite sandwiches is a BLT with fried chicken on it, ranch dressing and cheddar cheese.

That's not a BLT

On my fridge there's a smoke chart or something to that effect that lists the temp you want for all kinds of meat and it has a list with a bunch of different woods that work with them. It says that pecan is the best wood to smoke with.
