Sundried Tomato Pesto

Now, I love pesto, especially basil pesto, however as I don't have a number of basil plants at my disposal I thought I'd do tomato as I do have a huge jar of sun dried tomatoes...not that I'm a huge fan but that is beside the point...

This is a rather thick pesto, however you could definitely add more oil to loosen it up! Great to serve with toasted breads and crackers or added to meatballs or spaghetti bolognese.

GF Scallywag Sundried Tomato Pesto

200g Sundried tomatoes, drained*

1/2 cup basil, washed

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1/4 cup unsalted cashews or pine nuts

3-4tblspn good quality olive oil (this will depend on how soft the tomatoes are)

1tbspn tomato paste

Put half the oil and all other ingredients into your food processor and buzz until combined, adding more oil as necessary.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

* Semi Sundried Tomatoes will probably work better due to their softness, however I just had to get rid of some of my sundried tomatoes and this certainly does the job quickly!

Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups pesto.
