Tomato Lime Pesto
- 1 cup packed sun-dried tomato (dry, not oil packed)
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 fresh chili pepper, coarsely chopped (can seed for a milder taste)
- 1 cup chopped fresh tomato
- 14 cup fresh lime juice, more to taste
- salt
- (The recipe specifies to use tomatoes preserved with salt, not sulfites, if possible.
- Their red color isn't as bright, but the flavor is way superior.
- Just be judicious on the addition of salt when ready for that step).
- In a small heatproof bowl, cover the sun-dried tomatoes with boiling water and set aside to soften for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a single layer on an unoiled baking tray at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown.
- Cool for a few minutes, then coarsely chop them.
- When the sun-dried tomatoes are soft, drain them well.
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you have a fairly smooth paste.
- Add additional lime juice and/or salt to taste.
- Stored in an airtight container and refrigerated, this pesto will keep for 3 to 4 days.
