Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

Ingredients:

Sun Dried Tomatoes (store bought) 5 oz
Mint leaves (fresh) 5-7 sprigs
Garlic - minced 1/2 tsp
red pepper flakes/paprika as required
salt and pepper to taste
Almonds 10

Method:

1. Soak the sun dried tomatoes in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them.
2. In the food processor, add all ingredients and chop them into fine pieces.
3. Add some of the soaking water and grind them to a paste.
4. The paste should be thick for spreads and of medium consistency for dips.

I use this as a pizza spread and the pizza tastes really yummy :)
