    Erm, Jamie Oliver's chilli con carne recipe uses sun dried tomatoes. I think it's in his "Happy Days" book.I put our dried porcini (mushrooms) into my bolognese sauce. No need for pre-soaking then. :D:D:D

    i have a big bag of lovely, expensive sun-dried tomatoes in oil. i want to do something with them rather than just pick at them.
    any suggestions for recipes would be greatfully received
    thanks

    Hi,

    I love Jamie Oliver recipes and notice he uses sun dried tomatoes in many of his recipes so maybe you can have a look through his on the internet.

    Here's one of them:

    Use them as a topping for pizza.

    Tesco used to do a lovely finest pizza with a nice tomato and cheese sauce and some blobs of pesto and sun dried tomatoes, yum
