Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
If using very dry sun-dried tomatoes, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. If the tomatoes are already packed in oil, proceed to the next step.
In a clean glass jar or container with a lid, layer the sun-dried tomatoes.
In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, sliced garlic, chopped basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Pour the marinade mixture over the sun-dried tomatoes, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade.
Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, allow the marinated tomatoes to come to room temperature for the best flavor. Stir the jar gently to distribute the marinade evenly.
Use as a topping for salads, pastas, sandwiches, or enjoy them as a snack.
