SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat an oven to 350 F. Spread out the walnuts on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes; let cool completely.

- Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped.
- Add the sundried tomatoes, oil mixture, basil, Parmesan, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Process until the desired consistency is reached, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice. If needed, add more olive oil in a slow stream (up to 1/4 cup more). If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to loosen the consistency.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Use immediately or store in the fridge.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
I went to a market and bought some lovely pesto sauce, which the family loved. The market being so far away and the price or the pesto, meant I had to come up with something myself. So I did and the family love this even more. I have made it both with without the pine nuts, and it tastes great either way. This sauce can be chilled and served as a dip or spread on focaccia, fresh rolls or mountain bread...... our favourite is heated and stirred through pasta. This is so quick and easy and would be great with chicken or meat.. Freezers well also!!!!!!

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Sun-dried tomatoes can be used instead of fresh tomatoes, but they will have a more concentrated flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes in the oven before using them in the pesto. This will help to intensify their flavor and make them more pliable.
- Use a variety of herbs in your pesto. Basil is the classic herb for pesto, but you can also use parsley, cilantro, mint, or chives.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is one of the main ingredients in pesto, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a nice flavor.
- Don't over-process the pesto. Pesto is best when it is slightly chunky. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its texture.
Conclusion:
Sun-dried tomato pesto is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, pizza, bruschetta, or as a dip for vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover sun-dried tomatoes. With its vibrant color and delicious flavor, sun-dried tomato pesto is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
