Best Sun Dried Tomato Butter Recipes

GOAT CHEESE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO STUFFED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SAGE BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a second small bowl and set aside.
• Place chicken thighs on a cutting board and layer a piece of plastic wrap on top. Pound thighs slightly with a meat mallet to flatten. Divide goat cheese mixture among all of the flattened chicken thighs; spread evenly down the middle. Starting at the short end, roll up the chicken thighs and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
• Dredge chicken rolls in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, and set on a plate. Repeat until all of the rolls have been coated with flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thigh rolls in pan and cook until all sides are browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer rolls to an oven-safe dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat. Once butter starts to bubble and turn brown, add chopped sage and swirl the pan until sage becomes fragrant. Pour in broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
• Transfer chicken rolls back to the skillet and cook in the sauce for about 2 minutes, turning frequently to coat. Plate rolls and spoon sauce over top.

GRILLED SALMON WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO BUTTER (CALIFORNIA)

Steps:

• For the salmon: Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with the salt, pepper and dried oregano. Drizzle with the olive oil.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
• For the butter: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Blend until the sun-dried tomatoes are finely chopped. Place in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve the salmon with a dollop of the sun-dried tomato butter on top.

BUTTER BEAN, SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND PESTO SOUP

Steps:

• Put stock in a pan with the butter beans and bring just to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and stir in the tomato puree and pesto.
• Cook gently for 5 minutes.
• Transfer six ladlefuls of the soup to a blender or food processor, scooping up plenty of the beans.
• Process until smooth, then return the puree to the pan.
• Heat gently, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, then season if necessary.
• Ladel into warmed soup bowls and serve with a warm crusty bread or bread sticks.

GRILLED FISH WITH A SUN-DRIED BASIL TOMATO BUTTER

Steps:

• Butter -- Mix the butter, tomatoes, basil, and shallots together in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. This can easily be done ahead.
• Fish and Marinade -- Remove the fish from the refrigerator and set on the counter in a small dish. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl and brush on both sides of the fish. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes. This will also let the fish come to room temperature before you cook it.
• Fish -- I prefer to grill this dish. Inside or outside. But you can also pan sear and even broil. Make sure to season the fish well on both sides with salt and pepper before cooking. Use whichever method you prefer. I lightly oiled my grill pan just with a non stick spray and grill on both sides until golden brown and firm to the touch. I can't give exact cooking times, because each type of fish will be different. You want it opaque, firm and flaky but just once it gets to that point. Fish should not be overcooked.
• Serve -- Top each fillet with a spoon of the chilled butter. It will melt and give the fish an amazing flavor.
• Quick cooking couscous and pan seared fresh spinach makes this a 15 minute healthy meal. And don't forget - this is great over steak, chicken or pork. The only difference is - you need to marinate it for a much longer period.
• ENJOY!

GRILL ROASTED SWEET CORN ON THE COB WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO BUTTER

Steps:

• CORN.
• Pull away the husk and leave it attached to the cob.
• Remove the silk from the corn cob and re-cover the corn with the husk.
• Soak in a large bowl of chilled water for one to two hours before proceeding. After the corn has been soaked, pull back the corn husk and generously coat the corn with the sundried tomato butter (recipe below).
• Note: I am in favor of skipping the butter now as it gets a little messy on the grill when I do it it like this. Serving the roasted corn with the butter is enough for me.

• Place this over low-medium heat on the grill, and allow to grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning 4 to 5 times throughout the cooking time.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO BUTTER RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients (I used a small electric chopper/blender to chop them finely together) and beat until well combined. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for an hour before serving to allow the flavours to develop. Alternatively, roll it up in clingwrap into a sausage shape, which makes it easier to cut out portions as and when needed. Keeps refrigerated for up to approximately 2 weeks. Freeze if you want to keep it for longer. Use it as a delicious spread for breads, or as a flavoursome topping for steaks, pastas or vegetables. Before using, remove from fridge and let it soften and come to room temperature before using as a spread on breads. If using on steaks, place a slice of butter on top of the hot steak and let it melt into deliciousness!
