Robusto Pesto Recipe

	Noir / All my dishes 2 years, 3 months ago This olive based Pesto goes well with just about everything, including stronger flavors like red meat and pork. When I use it for pasta, just add cheese! :) Prep:15m Cook:10m Servings:6	Noir

Ingredients

10 whole sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil

4 cloves garlic

20 oil-cured black olives, pitted

1/2 cup blanched almonds, lightly toasted and chopped

2 tablespoons (packed) fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped

2 teaspoons sugar

1 small dried hot chili, or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Combine everything in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse lightly until a chunky paste is formed (or a mortar and pestle, if you like things done the old-fashioned way)

Taste for seasoning, correcting the balance of salt, sugar or vinegar if needed.

Keeps covered for at least a week....and use use use! :)

**Great as a sandwich spread!**
