 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 30       ea           Sun-dried tomatoes
  1       tb           Olive oil
  3       ts           Garlic, finely minced
    1/8   ts           Red pepper flakes
    1/4   ts           Oregano
                       Salt & pepper

 Ensure that the tomatoes are not overly salty.  Refresh them in warm
 water to cover for about 10 minutes.  Soak them just long enough to
 soften them, but be careful that they do not become soggy.  Drain &
 pat dry.
 Warm the olive oil in a small saute pan over very low heat.  Add the
 garlic, red pepper flakes & oregano & warm for 5 to 8 minutes.  Be
 careful not to let the garlic burn.  Season with salt & pepper to
 taste.
 Make the "sandwiches" by laying one tomato face down, drizzling a bit
 of the herb-infused olive oil on it & covering with a second sun-dried
 tomato.  Serve at room temperature.
