Notes

• This recipe works great as an entree, a side, altered to become a appetizer, can be used with pasta, etc... this recipe is as versatile as your imagination allows. 
• If you are using Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and they are packed in Olive Oil, you can use that olive oil.
• If you want to create a delicious dip for an appetizer, after completing the recipe, pour contents over a strainer, collecting the reserved liquid. Add the contents to a food processor, and blend, adding small amounts of the reserved liquid to achieve the desired consistency. Dig in with some chips, and enjoy!
