What goes well with sundried tomatoes?

[yorkshirepud]

Hey,

I am doing a variation on a bread I make regularly. Usually I just throw in some cooked minced garlic into the mixture, however, this time I want to through in some sundried tomatoes. What would go well with this that I can throw in also? Whether it be onion, olives and even a spice/herb. Any ideas anyone?

Fresh basil
shaved parmesan cheese (the good stuff)
caramelized onions

Erin C. posted a recipe for a yummy sundried tomato bread. You could "borrow" some of her ingredients and put them into your bread. I have been meaning to try this for so long. Since I have today off I think I'll do it. Here is the recipe.

I'd like some recipes using sundried tomatoes myself!

On my trip to Costco today, I bought a jar of them; they are beautiful! Now I just have to decide what to do with them. Any ideas are appreciated.

TIA

I made that bread to go with dinner last night and love it. If you like spinach you will love this bread. It went alright with dinner, but I think it would be better suited with soup or salad. It just has so many flavors going on that they get muddled up with a full meal.

Black olives. There's a bakery in Stratford that makes a sundried tomato and black olive bread... no one but local regulars ever gets it, because you order it ahead of time and every single loaf always sells out.
