Ingredients
dried cherry tomatoes
water
vinegar

Procedure
Preferably choose small tomatoes (datterino, cherry, Piccadilly or San Marzano), cut in half lengthwise (about 1 cm thick) and place in the drier for 2 to 3 days depending on thickness.

To prepare the pesto, soak the dried cherry tomatoes in a little warm water with a teaspoon of vinegar for about 20 minutes, drain and dry them. Chop the cherry tomatoes in a blender with the Parmesan cheese, basil and other flavourings (garlic, capers, anchovies, olives etc.) and add the oil. It can be stored in glass jars in the fridge for a few weeks, covered with oil.
