Ingredients for Sun Dried Tomato Marinade

• 80ml chopped sun-dried tomatoes

• 3 tablespoons brown sugar or molasses

• 475ml tomato sauce

• 120ml white wine

• Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons )

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley

How to make Sun Dried Tomato Marinade

Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, brown sugar, tomato sauce, and wine in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately decrease the heat so that the sauce barely bubbles, and simmer for 1 hour, until reduced to 240ml . Remove the mixture from the pan and cool to room temperature.

Combine the tomato reduction, lemon zest and juice, oregano, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes to taste, salt, peppercorns, garlic, and vinegar in a blender or a food processor and process until all the ingredients are blended. Stored in a clean, airtight container, this will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
