Instructions
- Spoon the sun dried tomatoes into a bowl, do not add all the oil just as much as comes out when transferring them into a bowl.
- Add the garlic, and squeeze of lemon to the bowl. Blitz it all together to a thick paste using a handheld blender.
Notes
- Make sure to use sun-dried tomatoes that are jarred in oil and scoop them out before blending. I like to keep the jarred oil just in case the pesto is too thick and needs a little help to become smoother. Just add a little at a time until you get the right consistency.
- DO NOT season the pesto with salt until you have tasted it, high chances are that is doesn't need any at all because sun-dried tomatoes are already well seasoned.
- You can also add in some pine nuts for a nutty flavour just make sure to keep some oil as you'll need it to blend the pesto.
- If you're not using the pesto the same day then store it in a jar and cover it with oil. It'll keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- You can also freeze this pesto and thaw as needed.
