Sundried tomatoes are a great flavour-some little gems, they help enhance italian and even mediterranean dishes. Making them into a quick pesto just gives it the right amount of deliciousness.
This is a quick-lunch or light dinner recipe specially in the spring and summer when the salads are back in but nice and warm to give the hearty feeling.
