Instructions

Step 1

On a dry pan toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes until it smells nutty . Now add these to a Food processor then add the sun dried tomatoes . I recommend using the ones already in olive oil and these are nice and soft and juicy . If you can’t get these ones then use what you have and add a little splash of olive oil. Pulse the blender until the walnuts and tomatoes are blended
