Recipe: Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
A variation on a classic Italian sauce: basil pesto mixed with the
interesting flavor of sun-dried tomatoes.
Yield 2 c
Time 10 minutes
Tools blender or chopping knife large bowl wooden spoon
Ingredients 2 c fresh basil, packed 3-5 cloves garlic, minced ½ c chopped pine nuts or walnuts ½ c grated parmesan cheese 5-6 T olive oil 6 oz oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Directions If you have a blender , put everything but the olive oil in and process until finely chopped. Stir in the olive oil and serve. If you don't have a blender, chop the basil until it is dark green, pasty, and no longer resembles basil (about 5 minutes).
Mix chopped basil with the other ingredients and serve.
Notes This is wonderful over pasta, especially topped with a bit of fresh goat cheese.
