Step-by-Step Instructions for Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce
- Prepare your sun dried tomatoes. If using oil-packed tomatoes, drain them well; if using plain, soak in hot water for about 20 minutes until rehydrated.
- In a food processor, add the prepared sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, grated garlic, vegan parmesan, and extra virgin olive oil. Optionally, add fresh oregano.
- Pulse a few times, then blend on high speed for about 30 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides, checking for a creamy consistency.
- If too thick, gradually add reserved water or olive oil until you reach desired texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt, mixing again until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the pesto sauce into a clean jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
