Insects won't touch the tomatoes, they only go on sweet food, don't worry :)If you live in a humid region, the tomatoes will take a very long time to dry, so only do this in the summer.I eat this on bread, in salads, with pasta dishes etc

Dried tomatoes are quite expensive at the store, so I challenged myself to create a homemade version. Recipe by Staff Takako

This is a fresh and light summer meal, and very easy to make.

A very flavorful pasta dough that goes great with pesto sauces! We had it with a creamy pesto sauce with balsamic - See in my other recipes here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/271716-creamy-pesto-pasta-sauceRecipe from an "Infused Pasta" cooking class I took at the Seasoned Farmhouse in Columbus, Ohio by Chef Tom Hughes. This was my favorite one I think :)

When you sun dry red ripe tomato puree for four days, you get superb tomato paste. If you dont get four continuous days of sun this time of year, dry in oven. No other ingredients added except a teaspoon of seasalt per pint, just dried into paste in the sun on a half size baking pan. Fresh frozen in small quantities, I use empty half eggshells, holding one ounce each, not boiled or canned to keep that summer fresh taste.

I wanted to enjoy delicious tomatoes in a even more delicious way, and came up with these semi-dried tomatoes By using cherry tomatoes, the semi-dried tomatoes become very sweet, and packed with the rich umami flavor from the ripe cherry tomatoes.The semi-dried tomatoes contain residual moisture, so I recommend storing them in the refrigerator, and to use them up as soon as possible. The olive oil used to marinate the semi-dried tomatoes can be reused in other dishes. Recipe by Kokoa mama

I am a huge fan of tennis and Rafa’s!! 🙂 who ever enjoys tennis would know who he his..:), I played tennis most of my life and would have continued to play if I wasn’t hit by a car a couple of years ago…but that’s another story and I won’t go into that now, I am fine no issues with my arm I just can’t play anymore.Anyway, once the tennis season starts I am in front of the tv rooting for Rafa, and I kind of really get involved in the whole match by jumping when Rafa wins and maybe a bit of yelling after all I am a fan. hahaha 🙂 🙂 🙂 Since the season has started I enjoy making appetisers to eat while I am watching the match or matches. I do enjoy watching other tennis players like Federer, Dimitrov Murray, Wawrinka, Tsonga Goffin, F. Fognini, Baghatis and many more.So, this is one appetiser that I enjoy making, the combination of the sun dried tomatoes with olive oil, soooo yummy and one more appetiser which I will post later Oven Baked Feta Cheese. 🙂 Both delicious and quick I hope you enjoy this recipe 🙂

This filling salad is my favorite, and is a staple salad in delicatessens in the U.S. I love it, so I make this quite often.＊This looks even better if you add black olives and artichoke marinated in oil.＊If using store-bought sun-dried tomatoes, they are often seasoned with salt. So try one, and adjust the amount of salt accordingly.＊I added mirin, and reduced the amount of olive oil. The more oil you use, the better this salad will taste. Recipe by Tabesugiyarou
