Sun-Dried Tomato Caviar
Autumn is slowly coming our way as we near the end of the month. However, with September weather still giving off warm & summery vibes, let’s give the apéritif one last moment of glory, before we truly head into Autumn.
When it comes to apéritifs & small gatherings, dips are often overlooked or a bit of an afterthought. This crowd-pleasing Sun-Dried Tomato Caviar will change your mind. Ready in under 10 minutes, all it requires is to combine & mix sun-dried & fresh tomatoes with some basil, pine nuts, garlic & olive oil.
Its creamy texture & sweet tomato flavours are perfect slathered on a slice of grilled bread or a cracker. And if you are feeling a little bit more peckish, this spread works wonders mixed into freshly cooked pasta, added to some grilled veggies or fish or even spread onto the base of a tart - a real game changer.
