ounces
of capers
drained
2-3
tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
Chop sun dried tomatoes and soak in boiling water for 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain water, but reserve a portion of the water.
Using a food processor, purée the sundried tomatoes and garlic.
While the motor is running, add the olive oil and some of the reserved liquid until you have reached a smooth consistency.
Add some tomato paste if needed to reach the perfect consistency (should be a bit chunky).
Add the capers, salt and pepper and mix well.
Store in refrigerator a few hours so the flavors can blend together, and bring to room temperature before serving.
