Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Pesto
Sun-dried tomato pesto is a great sauce that you can add to hot pasta or use as a dip and it's so easy to make.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- 2 ¼ cups (512 grams) sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 ½ cups a large handful fresh basil leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- To a small saucepan, add the oil over medium-low heat. When the oil starts to ripple, add the garlic cloves and gently fry, turning often until they start to brown. Remove and keep the oil.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor, including the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Pulse until well mixed, but still fairly chunky. If you want it more saucy add more olive oil from frying the garlic.
