Sundried tomatoes

[onfruitstreet]

I'm wanting to stuff some jalapenos and roast them. Usually, I leave it at stuffing them with cream cheese, but I found this Joe's Screaming Stuff Jalapeno Poppers and it is definitely screaming out to me. But I don't know (nor have I known when sun-dried tomatoes are called for in any other recipe), if a recipe calls for sun-dried tomatoes, does

Usually the dry version of sun dried tomatoes are rehydrated/soaked in hot water (like you do with dried shitake mushrooms) and then drained and chopped in order to be used in recipes so, depending on what you've got, make sure they're soft and pliable before you chop and measure the amount required in your recipe.

This is calling for the ones in oil. There's no other liquid called for that would rehydrate the dried ones enough.

I would assume he meant the ones in oil, since he says "a nice handful from the jar". However, if you only have the dried ones, you can rehydrate them in oil, and they will be the same stuff from the jar. Since I can get dried ones not in oil cheaper than packed in oil, this is what I do. Unless the oil is warm-hot when you put the tomatoes in it, they need to soak for a while though (at least 2 hrs).

I think you can interchange them. The main consideration is how crunchy they will be in the end. You could even use tomato confit (Roasted slow). Good luck and be sure to post some photos :)
