Some ingredients carry the feeling of a season. Sun-dried tomatoes are one of them: sweet, savoury, and full of the warmth that makes Mediterranean cooking so inviting.
Preserved in olive oil, they become easy to use. Add them to a grain bowl, fold them through pasta, or place them beside soft cheese and warm bread.
One jar, several dinners
Chop a few tomatoes into a dressing with herbs and lemon. Stir them into beans for a quick lunch. Blend them with toasted nuts for a bold spread. The oil around them can also be used as a finishing touch.
Good pantry food gives you options without asking for complication.
The pleasure is in the contrast: a simple base, one strong ingredient, and enough olive oil to connect the flavours together.
