Yield makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons brown sugar or molasses
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup white wine
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper or red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon coarse-grain salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black peppercorns
3 or 4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup balsamic or red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, brown sugar, tomato sauce, and wine in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately decrease the heat so that the sauce barely bubbles, and simmer for 1 hour, until reduced to 1 cup. Remove the mixture from the pan and cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the tomato reduction, lemon zest and juice, oregano, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes to taste, salt, peppercorns, garlic, and vinegar in a blender or a food processor and process until all the ingredients are blended. Stored in a clean, airtight container, this will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

AIR FRYER "SUN-DRIED" TOMATOES



Air Fryer

This past summer I found myself asking how I was going to preserve the abundance of grape tomatoes I had from my garden. Sun drying was the only thing I could come up with but problem was, there wasn't any sun. Air fryer to the rescue! I have a small air fryer so I wrote this up for 5 ounces (12 grape tomatoes) so that it would be easy to do in small batches. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for re-hydrating or pack in oil and store in the refrigerator for salads, soups, sauces, etc.

Time 2h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 ounces red grape tomatoes, halved
¼ teaspoon olive oil
salt to taste

  • Transfer tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate and let sit for 1 hour. Repeat with remaining tomatoes you are needing to use.

Tips:

  • When selecting sun-dried tomatoes, opt for high-quality ones that are packed in oil. This will ensure that they are flavorful and moist.
  • To rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes, simply soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes. This will soften them up and make them easier to use in your marinade.
  • If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can use fresh tomatoes instead. Just be sure to roast them in the oven first to concentrate their flavor.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in your marinade. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and chili pepper.
  • Be sure to let your meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
  • When grilling or roasting your meat, be sure to baste it with the marinade occasionally. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

A sun-dried tomato marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite meats. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will tenderize and flavor your meat, leaving it juicy and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook your favorite protein, give a sun-dried tomato marinade a try.
