Red Pepper Pesto


Delicious, and very handy. Store it in a jar for up to 3 weeks, 1 week if you add cheese.

1. In a food processor or with a mortar & pessel, mix together:
  • 1 jar roasted red peppers, or roast them yourself
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese [optional]
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2/3 cup roasted pine nuts
  • salt and pepper to taste
