Sun Dried Tomato Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, brown sugar, tomato sauce, and wine in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately decrease the heat so that the sauce barely bubbles, and simmer for 1 hour, until reduced to 1 cup. Remove the mixture from the pan and cool to room temperature.
• Combine the tomato reduction, lemon zest and juice, oregano, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes to taste, salt, peppercorns, garlic, and vinegar in a blender or a food processor and process until all the ingredients are blended. Stored in a clean, airtight container, this will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl.
• Cover with boiling water (just to cover) and let soak for 3 minutes; drain.
• Slice, and return to bowl.
• Add in oil and remaining ingredients.
• Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Store in the refrigerator covered in a glass jar.
• **NOTE** the oil will thicken in the fridge, just warm slightly in the microwave before using.

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes and a tablespoon or so of their oil in a small food processor along with the garlic and a good pinch of salt. Process until fairly smooth, stopping the machine and stirring down the mixture with a rubber spatula as necessary.
• Add the basil and lemon juice if you like; pulse the machine a few times to blend. Remove the paste from the machine, and stir in the nuts and just enough additional oil to make the mixture silky rather than oily. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• The night before, in a bowl, mix all ingredients together except the goat cheese. Stir until well mixed. Use enough oil to fully saturate with some extra settled on bottom of bowl.
• Cover and refridgerate overnight. You can occasionally take it out of the fridge and shake it up a bit.
• About an hour before serving, take out of fridge and bring to room temperature. It's ready to go when the oil is no longer gelled.
• Chop mixture in food processor just enough to blend together. Pour over log of goat cheese. Serve with toast rounds.
• Cooking time means to marinate overnight.

Steps:

• Place sun-dried tomatoes in food processor. Boil white wine, white wine vinegar, black peppercorns and bay leaf in heavy small saucepan until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 8 minutes. Strain liquid into tomatoes in processor and puree until smooth. Return tomato mixture to same saucepan. Add whipping cream, chicken stock and thyme. Simmer until flavors blend, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
