Tomato And Herb Paste

Tomato And Herb Paste

 

8 sun-dried tomatoes

Water as needed

2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil

2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

 

In a small bowl, place the sun-dried tomatoes, cover them with water, and

set them aside for 20 to 25 minutes to rehydrate. Drain the water from the

sun-dried tomatoes, but reserve it for use in the recipe.

Transfer the rehydrated tomatoes to a food processor, add 3 tablespoons of

the soaking liquid (saving the remainder for use in another recipe), and process

for 1 minute.

Scrape down the sides of the container, add the remaining ingredients, and

process for 1 to 2 minutes to form a smooth puree. Taste and adjust seasonings,

to taste. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the

refrigerator.

Serve as a dip or spread for vegetables, crackers, or breads, as a sandwich

filling, or to add flavor to sauces, dressings, salads, grains, or other side

dishes.

Yields 1/2 cup.

Now why didn't I think of this. I have a bag of dried tomatoes and

fresh parsley and basil still growing. Thanks for this recipe. I'm

making some today.
