Ingredients

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
2/3 cup boiling water
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

In a large skillet, saute the tomatoes, onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in corn and 2 teaspoons seasonings; remove from the heat. Stir in bread crumbs and reserved tomato liquid. Add lime peel to remaining seasonings; set side.

Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; tie with kitchen string. Sprinkle with remaining lime-seasoning mixture. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; cover loosely with foil.
Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Uncover; bake 15-30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 8 servings.
