Spotlight Recipe: Marinated Sundried Tomatoes

Marinated Sundried Tomatoes
These nibblers are always a star on my holiday cheese platter. I pep up traditional sundried tomatoes with lemon, garlic, fresh oregano and olive oil. The tomatoes take a while to marinate, so make them the day before or first thing in the morning.

Marinated Sundried Tomatoes
Serves: 6

1 cup sundried tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine ingredients in a small bowl and stir gently. Marinate for at least 2 to 3 hours at room temperature before serving. Serve on a platter with your choice of cheese, olives and slices of a fresh baguette.

Sounds great! Are the sundried tomatoes you use dry or in oil?

Hi Diana – The sundried tomatoes are dry — the only oil you want are the 3 tablespoons mentioned in the recipe. Essentially you are making your own flavored oil to infuse the tomatoes. Hope you enjoy them!

Amen to God putting it there! Interesting research about smokers finding it bitter. I haven't experimented with Stevia much yet but will start- as part of my weight loss strategy!
