Sundried Tomato Paste

This recipe is incredibly easy. The idea is to take a jar of sundried tomatoes in olive oil and puree them into a thick delicious paste to add to pastas, stews, anything really. If the jar you buy is a different size, don’t worry. Just add more or less oil and vinegar as necessary to reach the consistency described below.

Ingredients

  • One 10-ounce jar sundried tomatoes in olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Transfer the contents of the sundried tomato jar (olive oil and all) into a small food processor. Add the chili flakes and the vinegar. Puree until smooth, adding more olive oil if necessary, until the tomato mixture is the texture of a very thick pesto.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Store in an airtight container (you can re-use the jar!) for up to 2 weeks.
