How to Make Tomato Lime Pesto
- Cover 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil) with boiling water in a heatproof bowl. Let soften for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast 1/2 cup raw almonds in a single layer on an unoiled baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown.
- Let the almonds cool for a few minutes, then coarsely chop them.
- Drain the softened sun-dried tomatoes well.
- Combine the drained sun-dried tomatoes, toasted almonds, 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. Add more lime juice or salt as needed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
