  Mushroom, Tomato and Nut Mix

This is a great versatile mixture, delicious in salads, sauces, stews, and sandwiches. I use it several times in this book. It helps to season everything from pasta to cheese to salad.

1 ounce dried Polish cepe mushrooms
4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)
|/4 Cup sunflower seeds
3 small bay leaves
1/4-teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon thinly sliced jalapeno pepper
1-cup olive oil, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon salt (if the tomatoes are not salted)

Place the mushrooms and to-matoes in a bowl, and add boiling water to cover. Soak for 5 min-utes. Drain (reserve the fluid for use in stock or soup).

Place the mushrooms and to-matoes in a jar, and add all the remaining ingredients. Allow the mixture to steep for a few hours before serving. (It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
