Thank you for the recipe, I am salivating over the Trapanese version (but should and will try both, soon). Sadly, I have everything in storage so am savouring the day I can get my blender out and do this. Can't wait.
Great recipes thankyou! I dry my own tomatoes and the keep them in jars and do a smaller batches in oil. That way I only have a jar at a time in oil. Much easier for long term storage.
I’m going to try this! Funny, I can’t stand fresh tomatoes, but do like the flavour of dried. I also save the oil from the jar and use it for pastas and salad dressings. 🍅
Thank you for sharing, so easy and always handy to have in the fridge. A couple of years ago I sent my husband out to buy a particular brand of olives, he decided that the 1 Kilogram jar of olives was a better price, hence heaps of olive tapenade, perhaps I can make your tomato one also, I like the idea of not wasting the oil from the Sundried tomatoes. I used to make a dip with creamed cheese and sun dried tomatoes with the addition of finely chopped spring onions, your alternative recipe with the ricotta would probably be better.
Thank you!! I grew up with my mother always telling me that the oil from jars is the devil because it’s such poor quality, and that may be true but with the price of oil these days it would be such a waste to toss such a perfect flavor pack. The oil from tomatoes, anchovies etc make great bases for sauces.
I’m sure this recipe would work with regular cream cheese too, but the ricotta complements the sweetness from all the other ingredients and the tomatoes add the right point of acidity. The cream cheese could maybe make it a tad too acidic for my own taste but honestly anything works with dried tomatoes!
Anyway I’m glad we all have the shared experience of sending men to the store and them coming back with the wrong thing /too much of it / a whole other set of things you’d have never bought! Hahah!

Thank you! Yes I do the same, one jar in the fridge at a time, so they’re always fresh. Drying your own toms = top tier!
