Step-by-Step Instructions for Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce
  1. Prepare the Sun Dried Tomatoes by draining and rinsing them if packed in oil. For dried tomatoes, soak in boiling water for 20 minutes, then drain.
  2. Gather ingredients in a food processor: prepared sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, peeled garlic, and toasted pine nuts. Add vegan Parmesan or nutritional yeast and fresh oregano (if using).
  3. Blend until the ingredients begin to break down. Gradually drizzle in olive oil until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  4. Season to taste with sea salt and adjust the flavor by blending again.
  5. Transfer the pesto to a clean jar, drizzle olive oil on top, seal, and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
