Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
This is a red pesto that is fantastic on pizza, pasta, spread on a sandwich or on chicken or fish! It is unlike most other pesto you might have had, but, I promise you it packs a punch of amazing flavor! You will love it!
Ingredients:
1 8oz. jar sun dried tomatoes in olive oil
1/3 cup almonds, raw
3-4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Place almonds and garlic in bowl of food processor and pulse several times until it is crumbly in texture.
Add sun dried tomatoes and pulse. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add seasoning and more olive oil as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Spread pesto on pasta, pizza, sandwiches or chicken/fish to make the ordinary extraordinary!
*Store covered in refrigerator for 5-7 days or freeze in muffin cups for individual servings. If refrigerated, allow the pesto to come to room temperature before serving as the oil will solidify when cold.
