Tomato, Rosemary & Almond Pesto
This recipe is an adaptation of a pasta dish recommended by our friend Joe. It’s extremely easy to make and incredibly delicious.
Ingredients:
(makes 2-3 servings)
2-3 sprigs of rosemary
6 sundried tomatoes (We use those that come preserved in oil. If you use fully dried tomatoes, adjust the amount of olive oil)
30g whole almonds
3 cherry tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
4 tbsp olive oil
±10g of parmesan
Salt & pepper, to taste
Special Equipment Needed:
Optional: Blender or food processor
Instructions:
Remove the stem of the rosemary.
Chop all of the ingredients very finely and combine with the olive oil in a bowl.
Note: Add salt to the garlic while chopping for finer cut garlic with a less sharp taste.Taste and adjust for seasoning, as well as texture.
Combine with your favorite pasta along with some of its starchy cooking water; Or: enjoy the pesto as a dip.
As an alternative to chopping everything by hand, add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until you reach the desired consistency. We really enjoy this pesto quite coarse and chunky, so don’t blend it for too long.
Enjoy!
