Learn how to cook "Cheesecake with sun-dried tomatoes and pesto sauce". Delicious recipe.
Required products :
2 bunches of basil
1 onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
100 grams of butter
1/4 teaspoon nuts of choice
2 bunches of parsley
2 fresh tomatoes
1.5 teaspoons dried tomatoes
lemon juice
400 grams of cream cheese
100 grams of white brined cheese
1/4 tea cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic
dill to taste
Method of preparation :
Mix half of the cream cheese, white brined cheese and butter. Beat with a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Make pesto sauce. To do this, grate Parmesan cheese in bulk, peel the garlic, wash the green spices and dry with a paper towel. Grind the garlic in a blender with a pinch of salt, parsley, basil, dill and nuts. Add olive oil, lemon juice to taste, parmesan and 100 grams of cream cheese.
Peel an onion and cut it into circles. Peel the fresh tomatoes, cut them into 4 pieces and remove the seeds. Cut into small cubes.
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the onions until golden. Add the tomatoes, stir and leave the mixture on low heat and uncovered until thickened (about 7 minutes).
Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into thin straws and add them to the pan with the onions and fresh tomatoes. After 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and allow the contents to cool. When this happens, mix with the remaining cream cheese.
Cover the shape you have chosen for the cake with plastic wrap, the size of which should be larger than those of the dish.
Take out the cheese mixture that you put in the fridge, divide it into 3 parts. Spread one of them on the bottom of the bowl / tray with a spatula and level the surface. Followed by half of the pesto sauce and tomato paste. Repeat the arrangement, finishing with a layer of cheese.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours. When you take it out, carefully turn it over on a suitable flat dish, remove the foil, decorate as desired and serve with a glass of dry white wine.
Enjoy your meal!
