Sun-Dried Tomatoes Packed in Oil

Keep tomatoes submerged in oil. If the oil level drops, add more olive oil. Once opened, they are best used within a month.

Drain most of the oil before using, reserving some to add to dressings or sauces for extra flavor.

Chop them finely to distribute their intense flavor evenly in dishes like pestos or dips.

Rinse briefly if you want to reduce the oiliness or saltiness before adding to a recipe.

They are delicious added to omelets, frittatas, or baked into bread dough.

Not draining enough oil: This can make your dish greasy.

Forgetting to keep them submerged in oil: This can lead to spoilage.

Using them without chopping: Their chewy texture might be too intense in large pieces for some dishes.
