I was not going to post anything more this week as I didn't had anything intresting to post. Can you imagine that. But then today afternoon while I was reading a recipe in one of my cooking books they asked for sundried tomatoes in oil.
I thought why not make them at home, anyway I still have a lot of the tomatoes i bought from Italy.
Last summer when we went for
holiday to Italy I had bought some 4 huge packets of sun dried tomatoes. Have been using them regulary in dishes .
There is no recipe for this, I just added a hand full of dried tomatoes and poured good olive oil till they got filled. You can add herbs if you want, but i thought I will keep the taste as it is.
I will be suing this in pasta dishes, salades etc.....
Thats a fantastic idea!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow..Wonderful recipe!!I need to make this immediately!
ReplyDeleteThe sundried tomato u got from Italy is quiet different what I have right now here! Such a vibrant pict shots! I wonder how u use in salad, do u drizzle?
ReplyDeleteI have sundried tomatoes and wondering what to do with them. Pouring olive oil over them will make them juicy and good in pastas. oh thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteThe sun dried tomatoes in oil look good.I did not see a recipe, is just oil and tomatoes or did you add spices to them?
ReplyDeleteYummy! Good for pasta..

ReplyDeleteThanks for this tip; i don't usually buy sundried tomatoes because I don't know what to do with them!
ReplyDeletei love sun-dried tomatoes in everything, pastas, sandwiches, pesto.. you name it! love the sun-dried tomato picture.
ReplyDeleteSounds new to me,sure wud taste great with pastas and salads!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make sundried tomatoes at home and always so useful to have them on hand!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a big fan of sundried tomatoes .. so I keep making them in the oven. I think fried tomatoes will taste much better. :-)

ReplyDeleteWe love sun-dried tomatoes in pasta and to make tapenade-type spreads too! Last year in summer I made them at home, but in the oven - you know how rare sun was in Belgium then!
ReplyDeleteI tried sun drying tomatoes last year and the day I cut the tomatoes, it started raining, in summer!!! :(
ReplyDeleteMust give it a go again this year.
Hmm...i keep buying them from the store and it somehow gets spoilt really fast..du refrigerate this?
ReplyDeleteFinla, finding it difficult to comment in other blogs too, have to type repeatedly or copy first and then post atleast 3 times. It keeps disappearing and shows error 404! I got tired and decided to take a break until next week. I will see if I can trick blogger edit post by opening a new blog and import the post to publish at FH on Wednesday, hope it works.
ReplyDeleteLove the sundried tomatoes in Pasta or Chili dishes. Looks yum, great idea to preserve in Olive oil too.
Its very informative and can store tomatoes for long time,,,
ReplyDeleteCham I just slice them into half and add to the salade.
ReplyDeleteFoody guru I have written in my post there is no recipe , just added oil, didn't had any herbs as i wanted the taste to be pure.
An open book, i just did them yesterday so I think i will use them in few days few and then I am gonna keep then i the fridge as you said it get spoiled .
Asha hope it works, so that we cann se new posts :-) and anwya it is a good time to take a break as Trish is there.
good way of storing the sun dried tomatoes HC...wanna make it naturally atleast once in my life time ;)
ReplyDeleteTC
Thats a nice idea!! But i have never used these dried tomatoes in my dishes... Gotta try them!!
ReplyDeleteNice that you have so much sun dried tomatoes handy. Lovely presentation.
ReplyDeleteThe pics are beautiful :) nice clarity and brightness :)
ReplyDeleteI often use prepared sundried tomatoes both just dry and those packed in oil. But I like to try to get away from commercial ones and make as much as I can myself. So this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of this!!! Plus, the oil after the tomatoes are used is also so tasty. Did you dry the tomatoes in your oven first?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring on those tomatoes! Great shots too!
ReplyDeleteThis is news to me that you can just pour olive oil over them and leave it like that, without any heating required!
ReplyDeleteLovely pix!
woo looks sooo good..
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely gorgeous! I always bought soaked with olive oil in tins.
ReplyDeleteI love sundried tomatoes, but cant seem to find any in this part of malaysia, have you ever tried making them at hom.

ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful and perfect to add to pasta.

ReplyDeleteI always buy the sundried tomatoes in oil, and keep pouring more oil in it to keep it fresh. But making my own is a fantastic idea, I can really spice it up a bit too :)
