Ingredients/ Shopping List:

  • 2 cups, sun dried tomatoes, drained

  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 shallot
  • ¼ cup, vegan parmesan cheese

  • Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, olive oil, basil, parsley, garlic, shallot, and cheese in a food processor.

    • You may need to slowly add in more olive oil to achieve a smooth consistency with small chunks.
  • Spread on crusty bread or crackers and enjoy!
