Hosting a backyard barbeque, entertaining at a cocktail party, or just want something quick and easy? This creamy sun-dried tomato spread is made with silken tofu; it's delicious and quite satisfying as a base for a grilled vegetable sandwich or spread on a bagel. Use dried tomatoes re-hydrated as the recipe calls for or skip the first step and use a jar packed in oil.
