Serve with toasted French baguette slices, or toss with hot cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese for a quick dinner.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 (8-ounce) bottle oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, undrained
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
Directions:
1. Combine water and pepper in a small bowl or custard cup. Cover with plastic wrap; vent. Microwave at high 45 seconds or until mixture boils. Cool completely. Drain mixture through a sieve over a small bowl, reserving liquid; discard pepper.
2. Drop the garlic cloves through the food chute with food processor on, and process until minced. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, and pulse until minced, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Place the tomato mixture in a medium bowl. Stir in the reserved water, cheese, nuts, and canned tomatoes.
