Sundried tomato pesto is a delicious and versatile sauce that can bring a burst of Mediterranean flavor to any dish. Made with sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and parmesan cheese, this pesto is perfect for pasta, as a spread on sandwiches, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables.
- For a smoother texture, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for about 10 minutes before blending.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until golden brown to enhance their flavor.
- Adjust the consistency of the pesto by adding more olive oil or a small amount of water if it's too thick.
- Season with salt and crushed red pepper flakes to taste for an extra kick of flavor.
- Store any leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays for easy portioning.
Making sun-dried tomato pesto at home is quick and easy, and the result is a rich, flavorful sauce that pairs well with a variety of dishes. By following a few simple tips, you can customize the consistency and flavor to your liking, ensuring that your homemade pesto will be a hit every time.
