Ingredients
- 8 ounces sundried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Drain the sundried tomatoes from their oil but reserve 1 tablespoon of the oil to use in the spread.
Step 2
Place the sundried tomatoes, reserved oil, and olive oil in a food processor.
Step 3
Peel and chop the garlic cloves and add them to the food processor.
Step 4
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, fresh parsley, capers, black pepper, and water to the food processor.
Step 5
Blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides as necessary. Adjust consistency by adding an additional tablespoon of water if needed.
Step 6
Taste the spread and add a pinch of salt if desired, though the capers and sundried tomatoes are naturally salty.
Step 7
Transfer the spread to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve immediately with whole-grain bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate for up to one week.
