  • 1/2 cup 115g firmly packed sun-dried tomatoes

  • 1 cup 225g diced red onion (about 1 medium onion)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1 cup 225g thinly sliced, peeled carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup 225g thinly sliced celery stalks (or about 2 medium celery sticks)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (chilli flakes)
