sun-dried tomatoes
Shriveled Italian garnish
Sun-dried tomatoes are tomatoes that have been dried in the sun (or by other methods) until most of their moisture is gone, concentrating their flavor into something intensely sweet, tangy, and slightly chewy.
They're sold dry or packed in oil, and appear in Mediterranean-inspired dishes, salads, and pasta: The recipe calls for a handful of sun-dried tomatoes.
