Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large red bell peppers, (de-seeded and membranes removed)
  • 1 clove large garlic
  • 2 tablespoon pine nuts, (lightly toasted)
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper, (to taste)
  • Olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F
  • Slice the red bell peppers into large pieces and place skin side down on a large baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the bell peppers and sprinkle some salt. Place in oven for 20-25 minutes until peppers are soft and the edges slightly transparent. The skin that was touching the baking sheet should be slightly blackened, too.
  • Meanwhile, lightly toast the pine nuts in a skillet on medium heat.
  • In a food processor, throw in the bell peppers, garlic clove, pine nuts, and basil.
  • Turn on the food processor and drizzle olive oil through the feed tube and mix it until a nice thick consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Keep in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks, if it lasts that long ;)
