I'm crazy about the Barilla sun-dried tomato pesto. However, the local store where I was buying it has dropped it. Can I get a similar effect by putting in a blender or food processor the sun-dried tomatoes that come in oil in a jar?

Note, I have not found another dairy-free brand of sun-dried tomato pesto. (I'm allergic to dairy.) The Barilla version seems to be the only one. (I am in the U.S.)

I see that there is a close vote. Feedback would be helpful so I can recast the question or avoid asking off-topic in future.

    Not sure how much storage space you have, but you could trying asking the store if they would order you a case of the sauce. Jarred sauce would keep for a long time. Stores only have so much shelf space and they tend to stock items that turn over. If they don't sell much they will switch to something else.

Yes, you can use chopped up sun dried tomatoes, either in oil or dry stored.

For the dry sun-dried tomatoes, you should re-hydrated them a little bit in warm water before mixing them up.

As always, you will need to experiment with the ingredient ratios to get the flavour you like best.

  • food processor, you do not want to turn it into a paste.
