Homemade Sun-Dried Tomato Paste - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (28 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
10 cloves garlic
1/2 - 1 cup olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Put the tomatoes in a medium bowl.
Add some very hot water to cover.
Stir for a few minutes, then drain.
(this softens the tomatoes and gets rid of some of the packing oil).
