I was a little hesitant to use bush tomato at first, these strange little dried up sultana looking things. They grow in the desert regions of Australia and need to dry in the sun to a rich reddish-brown before using, this reduces the level of alkaloids and also helps to concentrate the flavours. They are a great source of vitamin C. You can add bush tomato to a variety of savoury dishes, use as a herb...I've cooked them with fresh tomatoes and they add a spicy flavour, also works as a thickener. Don't use too much as that can add a bitter tones. For about 3 fresh tomatoes cooked I'd use about 1/4 cup bush tomato (roughly), as you all know cooking and quantities can depend on the mood of the day! Once you start using bush tomatoes you find more and more ways to incorporate them into dishes, and are a great addition to your kitchen pantry, just need to get to know them.
