Sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil

Sun-dried tomatoes have been my latest discovery. Yeah, I guess many of you already knew them already. In fact, I had them in restaurants before. Even bought them a couple of times, but I always missed a key step, to REHYDRATE them! And how do they change!

I have been gathering some information on the net and after reading several methods I chose the one I am telling you here. The result is great and gives a lot of possibilities. One example is the toast with feta cheese and tomatoes that are in the photo. Try them also with pasta or in your favourite salad...

SUN-DRIED TOMATOES IN OLIVE OIL

1 package of sun-dried tomatoes

Several cloves of garlic

White wine vinegar

Oregano

Ground black pepper

Virgin olive oil

In a saucepan, boil some water with a splash of vinegar. Add the tomatoes and let them boil for a few minutes. Drain all the water and place all the tomatoes on absorbent kitchen paper and cover them with another paper. The idea is to remove any excess water.

Place the tomatoes, sliced ​​garlic, oregano, black pepper and oil in a jar alternating the layers and making sure that all tomatoes are covered with oil. If you are going to store them for a long time, better use a sterilized jar.

And that’s it, there you have your tomatoes (and your flavored oil) to enjoy at any time.
