Roasted Tomato Pesto Recipe

• 1 cup roasted tomato
• 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup basil leaves
• 2 cloves garlic
• salt and pepper to taste

Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a  food processor.  Grind for about two minutes. Actual timing depends on the speed of your motor. I have a fairly powerful one. Still I like to see little green pieces of basil throughout so I try not to grind it to oblivion.   Your roasted tomato pesto is now ready for use in a plethora of dishes.
