Sun dried tomatoes are an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, revered for their intense flavor and concentrated sweetness. You’ll find those magical jars on the shelf at the grocery: but what actually are they?

The drying process intensifies the tomato’s natural sugars but also preserves it naturally, making it a valuable pantry staple. Got a jar of sun dried tomatoes to use up and not sure the best way? This ingredient is incredibly versatile: it works in sauces, adds a savory depth to salads and dips, and lends an irresistible character to pizzas and pastas.
