The Sundried Tomato Pesto Recipe is simple and quick to make with a simple set of ingredients. You can buy the sundried tomatoes from the stores of make some yourself. I personally like to buy the ones that are soaking in oil, as they tend to be softer. This is one of the easiest pestos to make, as all you have to do is to put all the ingredients into the blender and puree to make a pesto. You can use the Sundried Tomato Pesto in a variety of ways; as a spread on sandwiches, into curries or pastas or even to make some delicious appetizers like eggplant rolls.

Ingredients

100 Sun Dried Tomatoes, drain the excess oil

1 Basil leaves, roughly chopped

2 Garlic, finely chopped

2 Whole Almonds (Badam), roasted

2 Parmigiano reggiano cheese, grated

1/4 Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Whole Black Peppercorns

Salt, to taste

Instructions for Sundried Tomato Pesto Recipe

To begin making the Sundried Tomato Pesto recipe; all you have to do is get all the ingredients together and put them into your blender and make a smooth paste.

Keep adding a little olive oil at a time if the paste if too firm to grind. If your sundried tomatoes are too firm, then its a good idea to soak it in a little warm water for about 15 minutes, then grind it to make a pesto.

Since we have added cheese its a good idea to refrigerate the pesto and it will stay for a couple of months.
