Questions about Sun-dried tomato
Do you need to soak sun-dried tomatoes before cooking with them?
If they are dry and leathery, cover them with boiling water and leave for 20–30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Add them straight to soups or sauces if they have time to simmer and soften.
How do you use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil?
Drain them before chopping, and use a little of the fragrant oil to dress pasta, roast vegetables or make a vinaigrette. They are already soft, so stir them in near the end of cooking to keep their flavour bright.
How should you store sun-dried tomatoes after opening?
Keep dry tomatoes in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard. Refrigerate tomatoes packed in oil after opening, keep them covered by the oil and follow the pack’s storage instructions.
What goes well with sun-dried tomatoes?
Their sweet, savoury flavour works well with olives, capers, basil, garlic and cheeses such as feta or mozzarella. Try them in pasta, focaccia, pesto or a savoury tart.
Can you make sun-dried tomatoes in the oven?
Halve small tomatoes or slice larger ones, arrange them cut-side up on a lined tray and dry at about 100 °C until leathery, usually 6–10 hours. Leave the oven door slightly ajar if the manufacturer’s instructions allow, so moisture can escape.
Are sun-dried tomatoes high in fibre?
Yes. They are high in fibre: a 100 g portion contains 12 g.
How do sun-dried tomatoes differ from fresh tomatoes?
Drying removes much of the water, concentrating the tomatoes’ sweet, tangy flavour and making their texture chewy. Use a smaller amount than you would of fresh tomato, especially in a dish where their flavour could dominate.
