For the Sun-dried Tomato Spread you need:
6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
½ a clove of garlic, minced
A good pinch of sweet paprika powder
A good pinch of chilli
Salt and black pepper after taste
6-8 tablespoons of neutral-flavoured cream cheese, regular or vegan
How you make the sun-dried tomato spread:
Drain most of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to a mixer or food processor.
Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, sweet paprika powder and the garlic to the mixer or food processor.
Pulse or mix until smooth.
Add the cream cheese, a bit at a time and mix to combine. You should end up with a soft and spreadable past, that is not runny.
Enjoy straight away on toast or crackers or keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a week.
