Red pesto

Al red pesto or rosso is also known by the name of Sicilian pesto. A variant of the known Genoese pesto made with dried tomatoes.

Tomatoes, garlic and basil all add their flavors, turning pesto into a salsa spectacular to accompany pasta, vegetables or even meat and fish.

Make this sauce with the Thermomix she has no secret because she weighs, grinds and emulsifies herself. So it won't take us 5 minutes to do it, but what am I going to tell you that I love pestos? The best thing is that you try it yourself!

  • 3 medium-sized basil leaves
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 30 g olive oil
  • 10 g of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch of sugar
  • Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Hydrate the tomatoes by immersing them in hot water for 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, wash the basil leaves and dry them quickly with a kitchen paper. Reserve

  3. Toast the pine nuts in a frying pan without oil and set aside.

  4. Peel the garlic and reserve

  5. Weigh the oil and reserve.

  6. Add the drained tomatoes, pine nuts, basil leaves and the peeled garlic clove to the glass. Shred for 10 seconds at speed 7. Lower the chips onto the blades.

  7. To emulsify, program 30 seconds, speed 4. Let the oil fall on the lid and it will filter, little by little, between the jar and the beaker.

  8. Remove the pasta to a bowl and add the grated cheese and sugar. Salt and pepper and mix with a fork. If you see that it is very dry you can add a little more oil.

  9. Serve in a bowl or sauce boat.

Notes

Do not hesitate to add a dried chilli if you want it to have a spicy flavor.[br][br]If you want to preserve it, you have to put the pesto in a jar, pressing lightly so that the surface is flat. Then add a splash of olive oil which, as it stays on the surface, will act as a barrier against the air. Close with lid and store in the refrigerator.

    I encourage you to prepare the pesto. I made it this week and it was easy, quick, and tasty. You can find the ingredients in Carrefour -fresh basil-, dried tomatoes -Mercadona- and pine nuts -Más y Más-. I give you the names of the supermarkets that have these products at the best price.
    I do not advise adding chilli - I did not add it - because the flavor already has enough personality and it may not be that everyone takes an extra spice well.
    We take it some with pasta and others on previously baked slices of aubergine. Delicious and with the option of aubergine, suitable for those who do not want to gain weight. I think it could be served with grilled fish and meat or on provolone cheese.
