Sun-dried Tomato Tapenade

Ingredients

1 package sun tomatoes
3 oz boiling water
1 c olive oil
1 t capers rounded
2 ts garlic
1 lemon zest
1 ts lemon juice
1/2 herbes de provence

Instructions

Place the tomatoes in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside until softened, about 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry. When cool, place in a jar, cover with the olive oil and set aside at room temperature for 1 week. Pick the tomatoes out of the jar, leaving plenty of oil on them. Reserve the remaining oil. In a processor, combine the tomatoes with the capers, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and herbs. Pulse until a very coarse, rough puree forms, adding some of the reserved oil, if necessary. Season to taste with salt.
