Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

I don't know about you, but I just LOVE sun-dried tomatoes.  I recently had a tomato and mozzarella sandwich at Panera Bread that had a sun-dried tomato spread.  It was amazing!  So, I came up with my own recipe to try to duplicate the spread.  This is what I came up with....not to brag....but I think mine might just be a smidge tastier!  :)


2 cups oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 c parmesan cheese
1/2 c olive oil
4 T chopped onion
3 cloves chopped garlic
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c fresh basil
1/4 c fresh parsley

Place all ingredients in the food processer until a coarse paste consistency is reached.  This adds pizzaz to any sandwich.  

Enjoy!!

  3. This sounds so good and healthy too. I think it would be good on french bread with mozerella cheese on top and popped into the broiler. Mmmmm. Thank you for sharing.
