In the 1990’s, sun-dried tomatoes burst onto the scene as the “it” food. Remember when truffle oil was everywhere and on everything in the last decade? Well, that was sundried tomatoes in the 1990s. But people that had no idea what to do with sun-dried tomatoes were adding them willy-nilly to everything. At the time, the internet was just a toddler and people only had cookbooks to guide them. And cookbooks did not feature sun-dried tomatoes. Today, thanks to the collective knowledge on the internet, we now know how to use and eat dried tomatoes in just the right way.
I’ve scoured the internet to curate the best Dried Tomato Recipes. From dips to stews to bowls, this recipe round-up will make good use of those sundried tomatoes.
