1 clove garlic

1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

2 tablespoons capers, drained and well-rinsed

6 ounces sun-dried tomatoes

1/3 cup basil leaves, rinsed, patted dry, and loosely packed

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roast garlic clove in 1 teaspoon olive

oil 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Combine all ingredients in food

processor until mostly smooth. Let rest at least 1/2 hour and up to

4 hours before serving to allow flavors to deepen. Before serving,

check seasoning; add salt if needed. Serve warm with slightly

warmed, crusty bread or crisped pita triangles.
