Serving size 4
Prep Time
Total Time

Ingredients

¼ cup sun-dried tomato, soft or reconstituted and chopped (see Tip)
5 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium clove garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted (see Tip)
2 tsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp dried oregano
⅛ tsp salt
1 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Process sun-dried tomatoes, water, oil, garlic, pine nuts, vinegar, oregano and salt in a food processor until a rough pesto forms. Stir in cheese.

Tips: For this recipe, look for soft sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil). If you can only find tomatoes that are very dry (and hard), soak in boiling water for about 20 minutes, then drain and chop them before using.

To toast pine nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

To Make Ahead: Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
