Red Pesto

A nice variation of the ordinary green pesto that gets it's red color from the sun dried tomatoes in it. The pine nuts have been replaced with walnuts or hazelnuts.


10 sun dried tomatoes in oil
25g Parmesan cheese in pieces
1 garlic clove
25g walnuts or hazelnuts
1dl basil, roughly chopped
2 pinches of salt
1dl olive oil


Place the tomatoes and pieces of cheese evenly in a food processor.

Add the garlic, nuts, basil and salt and blend until you have an even mixture.

Whilst you are blending add the oil a little bit at a time so that the mixture has time to absorb the oil before you add more.

Serve with grilled or fried beef, with lamb or game, or mix it with spaghetti for a quick pasta dish.
