SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE
Medium-spicy flavor, tangy tomato taste (only for real sun-dried tomato lovers) and a bright, sweetish accent from the touch of orange and cinnamon. Use the best sun-dried tomatoes for this recipe. Try it on pasta (I suggest about 1/2 cup per 4 ounces pasta) with parmesan cheese or crumbled feta or toss with beans. It would also make a terrific pizza sauce. This recipe is easily halved and the sauce can be frozen. From Angelica's Home Kitchen in NYC, voted 2006 best vegetarian restaurant.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD & CAYENNE TOASTS
Steps:
- Sun-dried tomato spread: To rehydrate dried tomatoes, place tomatoes on a steamer rack over simmering water until tomatoes are completely soft and have no hard spots, about 45 minutes. Check water level often to keep bottom of steamer from drying out. Place steamed tomatoes, in a 2-cup container with a tight fitting lid. Add all remaining ingredients. Cover container; shake to blend ingredients. Refrigerate at least 2 days to blend flavours. To serve, in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process contents of container until almost smooth, leaving some texture. Cayenne Toasts: Preheat oven to 200°F. Prepare topping by whisking all topping ingredients, until blended, in a 2-quart bowl; set aside. Using a serrated bread knife or electric knife cut French bread into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Lay slices in single layers on ungreased baking sheets. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat 1 side of each bread slice with topping. Whisk mixture often while using so that seasonings do not settle to the bottom of the bowl. Dry in a preheated oven until very crisp, about 1 hour. The texture should be similar to Melba toast. Remove from the baking sheets; cool on wire racks. When completely cool, store in airtight containers until served or up to 2 days. Cooled toasts can be packed in freezer containers and frozen up to 2 months. Recrisp frozen toasts in preheated 350°F oven 5 to 7 minutes. Place goat cheese on 1 or 2 serving dishes; pour tomato spread over cheese. Use small knives to spread on cayenne toasts or crackers.
SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD
I use this tomato-based spread in place of jelly on toast and bagels. My favorite is spreading it on tomato-basil bagels. I usually place 1/2 the spread in the refrigerator, and freeze the remainder for later use.

Steps:
- Combine mayonnaise mixture with remaining ingredients in medium bowl. Chill 1 hour. Serve with your favorite cut up vegetables and crackers or pita chips for dipping.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality bread for the toasts. A sturdy bread like sourdough or baguette will hold up better to the toppings and won't get soggy.
- Toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy. This will help it to better absorb the flavors of the spread and toppings.
- Use a generous amount of sun-dried tomato spread on each toast. The spread is flavorful and tangy, and it will help to keep the toasts moist.
- Top the toasts with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sliced avocado, arugula, hard-boiled eggs, or goat cheese.
- Serve the toasts immediately. They're best enjoyed when they're hot and crispy.
