Servings 1 jar and a bit

Equipment

  • food processor/blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 jar (280g) sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup (240ml) oil (mix of oil taken from the jar and topped up with either olive or sunflower oil)
  • 1 cup mix from a bag of pine nuts (55g) and then topped up with blanched almonds)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 good pinch salt
  • 4 cloves pressed garlic personal preference here, I am a garlic lover, but you can adjust +/- 2 cloves

Instructions
 

  • Place all the following into a food processor and blitz until you have the consistency required. I like to have a slight crunch from the nuts, but if you would like to have it similar to the jar then feel free to blitz for longer.
