TOMATO PIE

[Sowsage]

This is one of our favorite things to make in the summer. Its a great side dish that goes with just about any smoked or grilled meal. I did this in the oven but if you can hold your smoker at 350° you can also smoke it.

Here is all the stuff to make the pie.

First thing is to scale the tomato to peel them

Into boiling water

Then into an ice bath

Peeled and ready to core and slice

Then I plce them onto a rack. Salt and pepper to pull out some moisture. Then I pop them in the oven at 200° to get some more moisture out. This is important so you dont have a soggy sloppy pie.

Next blind bake a deep dish pie crust. I also crush up some Ritz crackers and put on the bottom. This will help soak up some of the juices when baking the pie.

Then chop up some basil and some green onion

Tomatoe out of the oven. Lost a little moisture. Just enough to keep from having a sloppy pie.

Time to build the pie
First the tomato

Then the basil and the green onion

Next is the the topping. 1cup mayo,1cup mozzarella shredded,and 1cup cheddar shredded......i forgot to take a picture of the mix. I was distracted by a spatula thief!

Topping spread on top.

Baked at 350 for about 45 min

I also had smoked a pork loin to go along with the pie.

All plated up. I did add a few Brussels so I would have some kind of green veggie along with it.

This was a good meal! Hope you enjoyed the pics.
Thanks for taking a look!

I had never even heard of a tomato pie. It sounds, and looks fantastic.

Give it a go sometime. It's really good. I do a variation of a Paula Dean recipe. There are several recipes out there to choose from.

I'll look into it.

By the way; That's as cute a spatula thief as I've seen.

LOL... A tow headed, blue eyed spatula thief.
That one looks like a mischievous imp if there ever was one.

Never heard of them before either. It looks very good. Do you remove the ritz crackers before adding the toppings? I like the picture of the spatula thief!

That tomato pie looks pretty good Travis, I’ve heard of it but never tried it. The pie sounds delicious though!

 

[smokin peachey]

GATOR240 made tomato pies at the pa gathering the other year. We put one in the smoker and dang was it good.
Sowsage your tomato pie looks delicious

 

[GATOR240]

The pie and meal look really good. I had never heard of tomato pie until a couple of years ago on here and it caught my attention. I made some for the last two Pa. gatherings and they seemed to go over well. I haven't made any this year so I need to remedy that - with bacon.

Warren , we have made a couple different kinds and this one seems to be our favorite. Would like to try a few other ways to see what they are like.

Sowsage Looks good. May have to give it a try.

Looks Great Travis!!
That's the only way I'll eat tomatoes cooked in any way!!!
I hate Tomato Juice & Stewed Tomatoes, but I love Tomato Pie or something similar.
That & fresh cold Maters in Sammies is about it for me.
Nice Job!!
Like.
