Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are plump and have a deep red color.
- If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can use regular tomatoes. Just roast them in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until they are dry and shriveled.
- To make the spread even smoother, use a food processor or blender. Just be careful not to over-process it, or it will become too runny.
- This spread is very versatile. You can use it as a dip for vegetables, crackers, or bread. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a topping for pasta or pizza.
- Get creative with your flavors! You can add herbs, spices, or other ingredients to the spread to customize it to your taste.
