Sun-Dried Tomato & Walnut Pesto
A deliciously different pesto made with walnuts and richly-
flavored sun-dried tomatoes. You can use this pesto as a dip
or spread, you can stir it into soups to add richness and
flavor, and of course you can serve it with pasta.
1 large clove garlic - roughly chopped 1 cup fresh
basil leaves
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup walnuts 2 tablespoons water 6 sun-dried tomatoes -
roughly chopped
3/2 teaspoon sea salt
4/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
PLACE all the ingredients, except the olive oil, in a food
processor. WHILE you process, slowly pour the olive oil into
the mix until all the ingredients turn into a smooth paste
(you may have to scrape the sides occasionally).
Variations: Pine nuts, pistachio nuts, macadamias, almonds
or cashews can be substituted for the walnuts.
