I recently splurged at the Simon Johnson sale (love a sale!) and arrived home with loads of goodies, including 2kg of beautiful sundried tomatoes. They were a bargain.... Here's a recipe I tried today. First toast 100g of pine nuts in a dry pan over low heat on the stove until golden and fragrant. Then in the Thermomix blitz 100 Parmesan cheese at speed 10 for 10 seconds and set aside. Into your Thermomix bowl measure in 360g of sundried tomatoes, the toasted pine nuts and 4 cloves of garlic and blitz at speed 6 for 10 seconds. Scrape the sides down, add 20g of fresh basil leaves and mix again at speed 6 for 10 seconds. Pour 1/2 cup of good olive oil onto the lid with the measuring cup in place and run machine on speed 4 until all the oil is combined. Scrape again, add the Parmesan and 1/2 tsp sea salt and mix at speed 4 for a further 20 seconds. This made 2 cups of pesto for the fridge plus two big dessert spoon dollops we mixed with cooked penne pasta, cream, white wine, chicken, mushrooms and baby spinach for dinner tonight.
