Vegan Sun-dried Tomato Pesto

I stopped buying pestos from stores since ever i started preparing pestos at home. Most of the storebought  pesto goes for Herbs, nuts and cheese. If you are making pestos at home, you can make them depending upon your tastebuds.If you would have noticed my recipes index, most of my pestos are vegan with loads of nuts. Making pesto at home is like a child play, apart from grinding you doesnt need anything to do with them. Pesto makes a fantabulous sauce to relish with breads, pastas,simply as a dip for savoury biscuits. Pesto belongs to Italy and traditionally consists of crushed garlic, basil and pine nuts blended with olive oil and parmesan cheese or Fiore sardo (cheese made from sheep's milk).A different version of pesto sauce exists in Provence region of France and its called as Pistou. But Pistou is generally made with olive oil, basil and garlic.

After making the Wholewheat tomato basil loaf, there were some leftover sundried tomatoes, obviously i went for making this eye catching pesto. Since pesto goes for a quick preparation, i just finished preparing them even before the tomato basil loaf came out of the oven.Usually pine nuts are used in pesto but mine is with walnuts, if you dont have walnuts just go with cashews, yes cashew nuts works seriously prefect in pestos. This pesto goes to this week's blogging marathon as am blogging for tame the yeast as theme.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#46.
