Marinated Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl.
• Cover with boiling water (just to cover) and let soak for 3 minutes; drain.
• Slice, and return to bowl.
• Add in oil and remaining ingredients.
• Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Store in the refrigerator covered in a glass jar.
• **NOTE** the oil will thicken in the fridge, just warm slightly in the microwave before using.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Wash and halve tomatoes. Gently squeeze out the seeds. Place the tomatoes on a non-stick cookie sheet, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Bake until tomatoes take on a leathery texture. This could literally take all day; smaller pieces will require less oven time.

Steps:

• Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, brown sugar, tomato sauce, and wine in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately decrease the heat so that the sauce barely bubbles, and simmer for 1 hour, until reduced to 1 cup. Remove the mixture from the pan and cool to room temperature.
• Combine the tomato reduction, lemon zest and juice, oregano, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes to taste, salt, peppercorns, garlic, and vinegar in a blender or a food processor and process until all the ingredients are blended. Stored in a clean, airtight container, this will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Steps:

• The night before, in a bowl, mix all ingredients together except the goat cheese. Stir until well mixed. Use enough oil to fully saturate with some extra settled on bottom of bowl.
• Cover and refridgerate overnight. You can occasionally take it out of the fridge and shake it up a bit.
• About an hour before serving, take out of fridge and bring to room temperature. It's ready to go when the oil is no longer gelled.
• Chop mixture in food processor just enough to blend together. Pour over log of goat cheese. Serve with toast rounds.
• Cooking time means to marinate overnight.
