Olive Oil Packed Sun Dried Tomatoes With Basil Recipes

SUN-DRIED TOMATO & BASIL OLIVE TAPENADE (5 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• Add olives, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, olive oil (starting with lesser amount), and lemon juice to a food processor and mix/pulse to achieve a dip with some texture. Scrape down sides as needed.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more sun-dried tomatoes for tomato flavor, basil for fresh herb flavor, lemon juice for acidity, olive oil to thin, or garlic for bite. Optional: Add a pinch of salt and pepper, though we didn't find it needed it.
• Serve immediately. This makes a great dip on its own or for pairing/layering with hummus. We also love it as a sandwich spread on a veggie sandwich like the Trashy Vegan Sandwich from our Everyday Cooking Cookbook, or our Chickpea Sunflower Sandwich.
• Store in the refrigerator up to 7-10 days. Freeze for long-term storage, though best when fresh.

OLIVE OIL PACKED SUN-DRIED TOMATOES WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Sterilize a one pint jar by washing with soapy water and then pouring boiling water over the inside and outside of the jar. Boil the screw band and lid in hot water. When jar is dry (air-dried) place the dried tomatoes into the bottom. Use a clean spoon to pack tomatoes together. Add a few leaves of basil. Continue to layer tomatoes and basil until the jar is full. Pour olive oil slowly over the top. Insert the handle of the spoon down along the sides of the jar five to six times to force air pockets out. Make sure the oil completely covers all of the tomatoes. Seal with the sterilized lid and band. The tomatoes can be refrigerated up to one month. Makes one pint.

BUCATINI WITH OLIVES, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and add a generous amount of kosher salt. Stir in the bucatini, return the water to a boil, and cook the pasta, stirring occasionally to prevent the strands from sticking together, until it's al dente. (Since cooking times vary, for perfectly cooked pasta, refer to the package instructions for the recommended time and taste the pasta frequently while it cooks.)
• Put the tapenade in a large skillet.
• Drain the pasta and quickly add it, still dripping with water, to the skillet with the tapenade. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook the pasta, gently stirring to coat the pasta with the tapenade, until it's warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Turn off the heat, add the basil, parsley, and sun-dried tomatoes and toss to combine.
• Use tongs to lift the pasta out of the skillet and pile it onto four plates, dividing it evenly and twisting it into high mounds.
• Finish each serving with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and Parmesan cheese shavings.
