Red pesto

Ingredients

1 jar sundried tomatoes (both tomatoes and oil 285 g, there of tomatoes 145 g)

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, from Rapunzel

30 g fresh basil

2-3 garlic cloves

1/2 tsp chilli flakes, from Kryddhusid

salt and black pepper

Method

Peel the garlic and cut coarsely. Add everything to a food processor or a blender and blend into the consistency you prefer. Some like it chunky, others smooth. My preference is somewhere in between.

Scoop the pesto into a glass jar and it keeps well in the fridge. It’s nice as a bread spread, pizza topping or to add some flavour to boiled rice.

HERE is how you can use it with pasta.
