Sun dried tomatoes

[ladybird64]

Qucik question. Are these best avoided? I have some seriously ancient sun dried toms that have been there forever (put in wee boxes by my daughter) but they are still fresh, the oil has dried out leaving some very tasty shrivelled toms.

For a light lunch, small piece of brie, handful of watercress and a couple of the toms sliced into strips..what do we think?

Hi...
Had to reply here ladybird !
Adore sundried tomatoes , eat them on crackers , have with feta cheese [cubed] salads.
Brilliant added to even cottage cheese! Chuck them in casseroles too ...
I think tomorrrows lite bite lunch sounds divine!!!!
Would love to join you :wave:
Even better eaten el fresco with a chilled drink, weather permitting. . .

sun dried tomatoes in oil are great and can be used straight from the jar (with a little dabbing to remove the excess), but the "dried" sun dried tomatoes you get in a packet need soaking in hot water for a while and draining to get rid of the salt...
