Cooking Technique: Using dried
tomatoes
Dried tomatoes contain all the goodness of ripe
tomatoes,
concentrated in a small package. When rehydrated, they give any number of dishes a big flavor boost! To prepare them: * Put dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover them
with room
temperature or warmed Swanson(R) broth. Let them stand for at least 10 minutes until nicely plumped. * Using a slotted spoon, lift the tomatoes from the
broth and gently
squeeze excess liquid from them. Do not discard the broth, which now contains a lot of tomato flavor! * Dice or slice the tomatoes and add them to
salads, soups, sauces,
risottos or other rice or pasta dishes, skillet dinners, or casseroles. * Use the reserved broth in soups or as the base
for a sauce.
