Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins

Place sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover with warm water for 5 minutes, or until tender. (Skip this step if your tomatoes are packed in oil.)

In a food processor or blender combine tomatoes, basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts and onion; process until well blended. Add vinegar, tomato purée, passata and red wine, and process until desired consistency is reached. Stir in olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt to taste.

Parmesan cheese

Parmesan cheese is not truly vegetarian, as it contains animal rennet. To make this dish 100% vegetarian, omit the cheese or find a suitable vegetarian substitute made without animal rennet. In supermarkets look for the 'parmesan style hard cheeses' which are suitable for vegetarians.
