Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes, reserving a tablespoon of their oil for additional flavor.
In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, toasted walnuts, garlic cloves, olive oil, reserved sun-dried tomato oil, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, basil leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Taste the pate and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
Transfer the pate to a serving bowl or jar. Serve immediately with crackers, fresh bread, or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate until ready to use.
