SMOKED TOMATO CHILI



Smoked Tomato Chili image

Smoked tomatoes are cooked on a smoker, or BBQ grill while burning flavored wood chips. The tomatoes I used when creating this recipe were smoked using a combination of mesquite, hickory, oak and cherry wood, but any flavor works. This chili was delicious over a bed of shredded lettuce and broccoli slaw, with crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, and shredded cheese. It was also good over cooked spaghetti noodles (what we call Cincinnati style), and don't hesitate to try it with a simple side of corn bread.
