Smoked Portabella Mushrooms and Tomatoes

These mushrooms and tomatoes make great side dishes and add zing to sandwiches, salads, and risottos. But we think they're best tossed with pasta and a little extra-virgin olive oil and chopped flat-leafed parsley or basil leaves.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 smoked portabellas and 3/4 pound tomatoes

Ingredients

6 medium portabella mushrooms (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 pound plum tomatoes

Special equipment and kitchen supplies:

stove-top smoker/cooker
3 tablespoons fine wood chips such as hickory or oak

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut out and discard mushroom stems and halve tomatoes lengthwise. Arrange mushrooms, gill sides down, and tomatoes, cut sides up, on rack of smoker.

    Step 2
