Red Pesto
Over the last few months I have been making a 'killer' red pesto which I use more like a dip. Spread on plain dry biscuits or slices of baguettes, it really is delicious - and oh so easy! I like to use my own roasted peppers by putting slices of red pepper under the grill, blackening the skin, popping in a plastic zip top bag for 5 minutes and then peeling the skin off.
Ingredients
50g sun dried tomatoes
75g roasted peppers
50g blanched almonds (or plain cashews!)
2 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Method
Put the tomatoes, peppers, almonds and garlic in a food processor and process to a paste. Stir in the Parmesan and oil and season with salt.
It is still quite chunky but oh so delicious. You should try it!
