Delicious semi-dried cherry tomatoes straight from sunny Sicily!
Open up and enjoy the fragrant aroma, which makes way to tomato’s sweet, yet super-zesty character. Their rich and robust flavours have slowly concentrated in the Mediterranean sunshine to produce an ideal ingredient to flavour thousands of dishes (see below for a few suggestions) while on their own, they perform a virtuoso role as an essential part of any Italian antipasto.
These tomatoes rest in a traditional Neapolitan marinade of sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil basil, garlic, sea salt and wine vinegar. A perfect balance of flavours is achieved.
They have a lovely consistency, easy to slice and dice and require no reconstitution. Just open the jar and you’re ready to go!
Semi-dried tomatoes retain all the nutritional properties of fresh ones. So they are high in Lycopene, antioxidants, vitamin C and low in sodium, fat and calories.
HOW TO USE – SUGGESTIONS:
Here are just a few suggestions for this super-versatile ingredient. With a little imagination, it’s easy and fun to create countless other recipes. Remember the flavour is quite intense so you don’t need that many. On their own on Bruschetta or Crostini (small pieces of crusty bread or crackers are fine). Empty them into a bowl, add a drizzle of olive oil and basil, then find the cocktail sticks! Either whole or chopped up, they are splendid in all kinds of salads: Green, pasta, rice, potato…. One of the most popular uses is in pasta dishes or risottos. Try them with grilled fish together with other vegetables. Great with soft cheeses and fresh basil – Ricotta and Mozzarella work really well. Use as a side complement for cheeses, Italian cured meats and hams and all kinds of fresh veg. Commonly used to flavour sauces and stews – even a small amount can liven up placid sauces. An absolute must on pizza. They will liven up any sandwich or panino. Use as a side to grilled or baked fish or roast chicken. Splendid on omelettes. Chop them up finely and use as part of a stuffing or in soups. They are lovely baked into focaccia or rustic bread. TIP: Once finished, use the oil as a condiment to flavour salads or vegetables.
