Sicilian style pesto, it is not a made up combination based on sun-dried- tomatoes, but it is actually 100% Sicilian pesto. I not only used this delicious pesto for pasta, but it is great with fish as in this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 cup dried tomato

4  fresh basil leaves 

1/4 extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup  blanched sliced almonds 

1/2 cup freshly grated 

1 clove of garlic 

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 

STEPS:

In a blender, combine the sun-dried-tomato, garlic, almonds, Parmesan cheese , olive oil, basil and blend on high until well combined. You may need to add more oil or water for desired consistency.
