Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning sauce)
Instructions
In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the sun-dried tomatoes (including a bit of the oil they are packed in), feta cheese, and olive oil.
Add the garlic cloves, red chili flakes, fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more chili flakes for extra heat or lemon juice for additional brightness.
Serve immediately with pasta, as a spread for sandwiches, or as a flavorful dip. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
