Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

 

After reading an article in the New Yorker about "adulterated olive oil" I try to buy new world oil, and in this case I used a South African avocado oil. Blend sun dried tomatoes with oil, toasted pine nuts, sea salt (I prefer Maldon), garlic, and grated parmesan. This recipe is great in pasta or on crostini. I am using it in chicken with parchment, baked with shredded cheese on top.
