Tuscan Tuna - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
    2 shallots, peeled (or one if quite large)
    1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained
    1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, not drained (use 1/4 cup tomatoes and 3 T of the olive oil it comes in, an 8.5 ounce jar will make this recipe th)
    1/4 cup asiago cheese
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 tablespoon dried basil (or more, to taste) or 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil (or more, to taste)
Preparation
    Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender until well-blended but still a little chunky - do not completely puree.
    Chill at least 30 minutes. Several hours or overnight is better.
    Serve in your favorite way - on toasted rolls, tuna melts, on top of greens or whatever floats your boat.
