Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil

Ensure tomatoes remain submerged in oil to prevent spoilage. Once opened, store in the refrigerator.

Drain the oil before using the tomatoes if you prefer a less oily dish, but save the oil for dressings or sautéing.

Chop them finely for pestos or spreads, or leave them whole or in halves for salads and pizzas.

Rehydrate them in warm water or broth for 15-30 minutes if they seem too dry for your recipe.
