I remember vaguely years ago when sun dried tomatoes became the new cool kid on the recipe band wagon. Not being big on expensive gourmet additions in my pantry at the time…I passed them by…
My hubby bought a huge jar of sun dried tomatoes at Costco. Hint to me that he wanted more of those on his dinner plate! Our daughter, Kayti, had made him ChickenPasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes while I was in Montana and he really loved them! I put them in Sundried Tomato Kalamata Frittata and the result was so great I knew I had to keep experimenting.
These are The Sun dried Tomatoes I used today.
This time I’m putting Sun Dried Tomatoes in Cabbage Beef Stew. I usually use canned stewed or diced tomatoes in my soups and stews. Putting in the Sun Dried Tomatoes brought a whole new flavor level to my recipe! Wow! Most of you are probably not surprised. I’m very late to the party on this amazingly tasty and useful ingredient! All I will say is if you are like me; the price may be holding you back. Go ahead and give them a try! I’m seriously thinking about making my own from our greenhouse tomatoes
UPDATE: I actually DID make my own sun dried(I dried them in a dehydrator) tomatoes this summer 2015 and they are EXCELLENT!! I am looking forward to experimenting with them in my recipes this year!
If you’ve been reading this blog a while, you know I crock pot all the time. Often once or twice a week. Crock pots make yummy food easily in large amounts and makes great leftovers! My husband dutifully eats leftovers, as long as he get goodies once in a while to make up for it:) You also know I shop at Costco a LOT. I don’t get a nickel for saying that. I just tell you all what I use and like. You can make your own choices.

Sandra, I STRONGLY encourage you to make your own sun dried tomatoes! The flavor is outstanding. And, as always, you can adjust the herbs and flavors to suit yourself Start with perfectly ripe, organic tomatoes and herbs and go for it!!
I love making beef stew in the slow cooker, great idea to add cabbage and sun dried tomatoes, it sounds wonderful!
Joy, the extra flavor of the sun dried tomatoes and cabbage make this soup extra yummy! And so healthy too!
Why don’t I think of adding cabbage to soup. What am I thinking? Looks amazing!
KC, If you’ve never tried Cabbage in your soup, you really need to! Cabbage adds so much flavor and nutrition to a soup!
I love eating sun dried tomatoes, but I have to admit that I have never cooked with them before. You have certainly inspired me to give it a shot,
I hope you try sun dried tomatoes Jessica. They add so much flavor to a recipe!
The color of the broth tells me I’d love this soup!
I believe you would Lydia! Thanks for dropping by!
I love using my crock pot and this stew sounds amazing. Thanks
We love this stew, Rosemary, I hope you do too!
I love the sound of this, I do a crock pot pork dish using pickled cabbage that follows a relatively similar idea when it comes to the process… Unfortunately beef is a rarity in these parts but think the franks and hamburger sounds delicious!
This is really an excellent stew Brian. I’m thinking you could make one with sausage instead of beef that; while certainly different in flavor would be really good with this cabbage recipe!
Try chicken sausage!
