Replacements

Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil

Sun-dried tomatoes in oil are a flavorful and convenient pantry staple, made from ripe tomatoes that have been slowly dried under the sun to intensify their taste. Originating from Mediterranean countries, particularly Italy, these tomatoes are preserved in oil to maintain their texture and enhance their rich, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor. The oil they are packed in often infuses with their essence, making it a valuable cooking ingredient in itself. Their chewy texture adds a delightful contrast to dishes, and they are versatile in cooking, capable of softening when heated or maintaining their texture when used raw. Sun-dried tomatoes in oil can brighten sauces, salads, and pastas with their concentrated tomatoey goodness.

2% Milk
