Tip - Vegetarian Replacement

I often come across recipes which are almost veggie
but call for a small amount of ham, bacon, anchovy or suchlike for
flavouring.  I find sun-dried tomatoes (preferably the dry kind, not
the ones in oil) to be a very good substitute for the flesh foods
because of their salty, intense flavour - the end result will not be
exactly the same, but in my experience is usually just as good.
