How to Make Homemade Sun Dried Tomato Paste
- Place 1 cup (240ml) sun-dried tomatoes in a medium bowl.
- Add 1 cup (240ml) of very hot water to cover the tomatoes.
- Let the tomatoes soak for 5-10 minutes to soften, then drain well, reserving the soaking liquid.
- In a food processor, combine the drained sun-dried tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Puree until completely smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of the reserved soaking liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage. For freezing: Portion the paste onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the frozen dollops to a freezer-safe bag for easy portioning.
