Sun dried long tomato

Description

The sun-dried long tomato is a specialty made by drying elongated tomatoes. These tomatoes are characterized by dense flesh and few seeds, making them ideal for the drying process. The result is a product with a concentrated flavor, offering a sweet-tangy note that is highly appreciated in Mediterranean cuisine.

In cooking, the sun-dried long tomato is a highly versatile ingredient. Before use, it can be rehydrated by soaking it in warm water for 20-30 minutes or used directly in preparations when preserved in oil. Sun-dried long tomatoes are perfect for adding flavor to pasta dishes, risottos, salads, pizzas, bruschetta, and sauces. They pair well with cheeses, grilled meats, and vegetables and are often used in rustic recipes, such as farro, barley, or couscous salads.
