Frequently Asked Questions About Sun-dried tomato and onion sauté
What is sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Sun-dried tomato and onion sauté is a simple cooked vegetable dish made by softening onions with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, usually in olive oil. The tomatoes bring a concentrated sweet-tart flavor, so the dish works as a side, topping, or savory breakfast accompaniment.
How do you make sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
To make sun-dried tomato and onion sauté, cook sliced onions in olive oil until soft, then add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook until warmed through and tender. If the tomatoes are very dry or salty, soak and drain them first, and taste before adding salt.
What can you serve with sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Serve sun-dried tomato and onion sauté with crusty bread, grains, eggs, or grilled vegetables. Its concentrated, savory flavor pairs especially well with something mild and fresh, such as plain yogurt or a green salad, rather than another heavily seasoned side.
Can you use oil-packed tomatoes in sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Yes, oil-packed tomatoes work well in sun-dried tomato and onion sauté. Drain them before chopping and use less olive oil in the pan, since the tomatoes already carry oil; they are usually softer than dry-packed tomatoes and need less cooking.
Do you need to soak tomatoes for sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
No, you do not always need to soak tomatoes for sun-dried tomato and onion sauté. Soft, oil-packed tomatoes can go straight into the pan, while very firm dry-packed ones benefit from a brief soak in warm water so they soften and taste less salty.
How do you store sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Store sun-dried tomato and onion sauté in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled, and eat it within a few days. Reheat only the portion you plan to serve, and avoid leaving the cooked vegetables at room temperature for an extended period.
Can you add eggs to sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Yes, eggs make sun-dried tomato and onion sauté into a more filling skillet meal. Once the onions and tomatoes are tender, crack eggs into the pan and cook until set, or stir them through for a scrambled, shakshuka-like variation.
Why is sun-dried tomato and onion sauté so salty?
Sun-dried tomato and onion sauté can taste salty because dried tomatoes are often salted or preserved in brine. Rinse or briefly soak especially salty tomatoes, drain them well, and season the pan only after tasting the finished mixture.
Can you freeze sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Yes, you can freeze sun-dried tomato and onion sauté in airtight portions after it has cooled. The onions may turn softer after thawing, so use the defrosted mixture in eggs, pasta, or a grain bowl, and reheat it thoroughly in a pan.
How can you use leftover sun-dried tomato and onion sauté?
Use leftover sun-dried tomato and onion sauté as a topping for toast, a filling for an omelet, or a mix-in for pasta, rice, or cooked grains. Add it near the end of cooking so the tomatoes keep their flavor without becoming overly soft.
