TOMATO PESTO AMATO



Tomato Pesto Amato image

My neighbor gave me some tomatoes from her garden. I didn't want to peel/can them, so I used Gerry's Recipe #70005, then made some tomato pesto. The Gouda cheese used is the aged, harder type that you can grate. This is the gorgeous result.

Provided by Kathy228

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 1-2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup tomatoes, sun dried
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup gouda cheese, grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons basil, chopped (lemon basil works too)
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 -3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • NOTE: If your dried tomatoes are very dry, soak in water for about 1/2 hour or 'til tender. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the water for the recipe.
  • NOTE: If your tomatoes are stored in olive oil, drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil for the recipe, then rinse tomatoes for 2 seconds and let drain.
  • In a food processor bowl, combine all ingredients except oil and water. Process until well blended but not paste.
  • Slowly add the oil in a stream while the processor is running.
  • Add the water and blend until of desired consistency.
  • Long blending will produce a thicker sauce.
  • If it's too thick, add more water (not oil) until of desired consistency.
  • One tablespoon equals one serving on an average-size bowl of pasta.
  • Garnish with chopped dried tomatoes.
  • Too good --.
  • Makes about 1-1/2 cups. Can be frozen.
