Sun-dried tomatoes in oil are a delicious and versatile appetizer, typical of Italian cuisine. They are simple to prepare and can be stored for several months. The tomatoes are halved, seeded, and seasoned with chili pepper, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. They are then immersed in oil and left to rest for a few days. This process intensifies the flavor of the tomatoes, making them soft and succulent. Sun-dried tomatoes in oil are perfect as an appetizer or as a condiment for salads, bruschetta, and main dishes. From the region of Campania in Italy.
