Sun-dried Tomato Spread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This sun-dried tomato spread is so simple, but so insanely good. I use it as a staple condiment in my house and put it on toast, pastas, grain bowls, cheese boards, really anything that could use a spread. Sun-dried tomatoes are such a rich, punchy flavor and they bring a lot of versatility to the table.

The toast you see pictured above is the spread with an egg yolk cooked bain-marie, and then with parsley and dukkah on top – absolutely insane. BUT you can really simplify it and put this with ricotta and basil and it will still be absolutely amazing. You can find my homemade ricotta recipe here if you want to be a little extra 😉

But even with all the versatility of this spread, our favorite thing to do when we have it around it so quickly add it to our pasta as a finisher, or to toss it on a harvest bowl or roasted veggie. THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER. GO FORTH AND SPREAD. Ily.

Ingredients you will need for this sun dried tomato spread

  • 10 ounce jar of sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup parsley stems
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or more as needed

How to make this sun dried tomato spread

It is so insanely easy to make this spread, the trick is getting it to the consistency you’d like. You can either make it thick and spreadably or slightly more thin. Here’s how I suggest making it:


 

  • In a small blender or food processor, add the jar of tomatoes (oil included) the garlic, and parsley stems.
  • Blend until it is smooth. If you need more liquid to achieve a spreadable consistency, add the olive oil in one tablespoon at a time. Blend or process until the mix is smooth. Add more oil as needed.
  • Store in an air tight container in the fridge and eat whenever!

How I served this spread

So I was ~blessed~ with my friends amazing charcoal sourdough for this recipe. You can see above how beautiful it is. And I wanted something rich and umami to pair with the sun dried tomato oil.

So enter in the egg yolk bain-marie. Bain-marie is a double-boil method, where you lightly cook something in two containers, one container holding boiling water, and the other container holding the food you want to cook.

To do this with eggs, separate the white and the yolk. Add the yolk to a glass bowl and bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat, add the bowl over the top and whisk the egg yolk until it thickens. So easy and so so good. It’s like a spreadable yolk!

Basil Oil Baguette
This is the simplest but most delicious way to eat a baguette. Think of it as garlic bread's older, dairy free, more sophisticated sister. Smothered in basil oil, lightly toasted and extra crispy, this is perfect for any meal, any snack or any party.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese
It takes just three ingredients and takes less than 30 minutes to make your own cheese. It's so creamy, so easy and so gooood. I'm advocating to make everyone a cheese maker out there 🙂

Sage & Walnut Pesto
This sage & walnut pesto is more of a mix between a gremolata and a pesto, there is no cheese, making it like the dairy-free counterpart to a pistou. Either way, it's rich, flavorful and uniquely delicious, perfect for adding to eggs, pasta or toast!

A Basil Potato Salad. No, I never thought we’d A Basil Potato Salad.

No, I never thought we’d get here, either. 

But I kind of love it - not too heavy, filled with texture, hit with that same (light!) acidic element that we all know a potato salad needs. Take this and impress your grandpa (..idk I feel like family members love a potato salad).

@tillamook Oregon Strawberry ice cream sandwiches, @tillamook Oregon Strawberry ice cream sandwiches, because whenever I make a cookie crust for a pie I’m always wondering why we don’t do the same with ice cream sandwiches? #TillamookPartner
 
And Tillamook has the best ice cream in your grocery store hands down, and I am never without either their Oregon Strawberry or Vanilla Bean. Both taste so creamy and so LUXE. Long live summer and long live Tillamook dairy. If you need me, I’ll be in the ice cream section 🙂‍↕️
 
My recipe can be found on Tillamook’s site, and I hope you make these ice cream sandwiches for a crowd this summer 💚
