Sun dried tomatoes - help me with recipes please

everyrosehasathorn · 10/01/2020 11:13

I have a massive jar in oil that I need to use up and I only use them in one recipe - a creamy chicken (or prawn) dish with pasta. It is divine but too rich to have more than once a month!

Most recipes I found online that includes sun dried tomatoes also require cream and pasta and they very are similar to my chicken one. Please recommend your cream-less, pasta-less dishes that I can use my sun dried tomatoes in

Salad dressing? This recipe looks good. I haven't tried it but I think I will once the weather gets warmer!

I make a similar dressing all the time! Never occurred to add tomatoes to it. That sounds good thank you Smile

I love it in a really simple salad with mozzarella and lots of basil. Or just chop a few up and use them to liven up a normal side salad

I chuck a few in tomato soup as I'm making it.

I usually put them in a frittata, but recently I’ve been making this which is delicious realfood.tesco.com/recipes/creamed-sweetcorn-on-wholemeal-toast-with-chives-and-sundried-tomatoes.html

Sorry, no ideas myself but intrigued by the sound of your pasta dish. Would you mind sharing the recipe please?

everyrosehasathorn · 11/01/2020 14:39

@karmakameleon here it is, it is very simple but so tasty.

Sometimes I replace the chicken with prawns and add lemon zest. Thank you to all for your suggestions. I will definitely give them a try

Hmm, that does look gorgeous but I see what you mean about it being too rich to have often! Will give it a go though.

You can use it to make a delicious red pesto - pine nuts , sun dried tomatoes , walnuts , olive oil , little bit of basil and parsley and whiz in a blender . Keeps in the fridge .

I love sundried tomato on pizza - could you make homemade pizzas?

AwkwardSquad · 12/01/2020 15:52

I add sundried tomatoes to homemade tomato-based pasta sauce, and use them in couscous, as well as adding to salads as pp suggested.

Wizz then up with some olives, Parmesan and capers and toss into hot spaghetti (bit like a tapenade)

stripeypillowcase · 13/01/2020 15:14

as a sandwich filler.
chopped up on pizza.
chopped up in tomato sauce
chopped in rice
use the oil to cook

There's a recipe for a really nice Wensleydale and sundried tom and spinach quiche but most cheeses would work.
