Ingredients

  • 4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (dried, not packed in oil)
  • 1 12 cups extra virgin olive oil

Method

  • Coarsely chop the sun-dried tomatoes; combine them with the olive oil in a bowl; let soak for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a food processor; pulse tomatoes until they form a smooth moist paste.
  • Transfer pesto to a resealable, airtight container.
  • The pesto can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • The oil, which will preserve the pestos color and flavor, should form a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick layer on top of the pesto; add additional oil if necessary.
  • Stir before using.
