Cuisine French, Provencal

Ingredients
  

  • 200 gr oven-dried tomatoes from a kilo of fresh, plum tomatoes
  • 120 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Put all the ingredients in a mini mixer and blitz them until they form a thick paste.
  • You could add a handful of pitted, black olives to supplement the flavour.
  • Spoon the purée into a sterilised jar and cover with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil before sealing.
  • Keep in the fridge for up to two months.
  • Once opened, use within two weeks.

Notes

I particularly like to add a dollop to meaty ragus or you could spread some across a roll of puff pastry then top with sliced salami, grated gruyère and olives before baking in the oven for 20 minutes to give a crisp, flavoursome tart.
