(Pairs well with everything.)
Ingredients
1 (8.5-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained and oil reserved
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
½ cup fresh basil leaves
½ cup fresh parsley leaves
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ – ½ c. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Directions
Place drained sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, black pepper, basil, parsley and 1 tbsp. reserved oil in the food processor or blender. Process until the tomatoes are finely chopped.
Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan cheese and enough olive oil to create a pourable consistency (you can also add some tap water, as needed). Season the pesto with salt and pepper, to taste, and refrigerate.
