- This is my adaptation of a recipe I got on the net. The original called
- for dried tomatoes not preserved in oil; as I preserve mine in oil I
- changed it, along with some of the seasoning. To make this with the plain
- dried tomatoes, I'd guess you'd reconstitute them first, and use olive oil
- to replace the tomato oil.
-
- Dried tomato pesto
-
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 cup dried tomatoes in oil, drained, oil reserved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 bunch flat Italian parsley, stems removed
- 1 tablespooon lemon juice
- Dash freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (omit if you put rosemary in with the dried
- tomatoes when you put them up)
-
- Drop the garlic in a food processor while it's running; process until
- minced. Stop the machine and add the remaining ingredients, along with
- some of the oil from the tomatoes. Stop the machine, scrape down the
- sides and check for consistency; add more oil if necessary. Process until
- smooth.
-
- This makes a great spread on crusty Italian bread. It's also a great
- addition to soups and stews and makes a nice pasta sauce (thin with a bit
- more oil). Makes about 1-1/4 cups.
