Questions about Dried tomato
Do you need to soak dried tomatoes before using them?
If they are leathery and dry, cover them with boiling water for about 20 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Keep the soaking liquid to add a savoury note to soups or sauces; skip soaking for soft, oil-packed tomatoes.
How do you rehydrate dried tomatoes quickly?
Put them in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 15–20 minutes. For a faster, softer result, simmer them gently in water for about 5 minutes, then drain.
How should you store dried tomatoes after opening?
Keep dry tomatoes in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard and use a clean, dry spoon or hand to take them out. Once rehydrated, refrigerate them in a sealed container and use within a few days.
What can you make with dried tomatoes?
Chop them into pasta sauces, savoury scones, focaccia or a filling for stuffed aubergines. They also bring concentrated sweetness and savouriness to pesto, grain salads and tapenade.
What goes well with dried tomatoes?
Pair them with olives, capers, garlic, basil, parsley, feta or soft goat’s cheese. Their intense flavour also works with lentils, beans, eggs and roasted courgette.
Can you use dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes?
Not as a direct swap: dried tomatoes are far more concentrated, chewy and sweet, while fresh tomatoes bring moisture. Chop a small amount into stews, sauces or salads for a punch of flavour, and add extra liquid if cooking them into a dish.
How much fibre is in dried tomatoes?
Dried tomatoes are high in fibre: 12 g per 100 g. A small handful goes a long way in a dish, so use them as a flavourful addition rather than assuming a large portion.
Are dried tomatoes a source of iron?
Yes. Dried tomatoes are high in iron, with 9.1 mg per 100 g; use them in a meal with beans or lentils for a savoury, iron-rich combination.
