Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup pine nuts
2 large red bell peppers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread pine nuts on a baking sheet and bake until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Place peppers directly over the trivet of a gas-stove burner over high heat, or on a grill. Just as each section turns puffy and black, turn pepper with tongs to prevent overcooking. (If you don't have a gas stove, place peppers on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer peppers to a large bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Let peppers sweat until they are cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes; then transfer to a work surface. Peel off the blackened skin and discard.
  • Coarsely chop peppers and transfer to a food processor. Add pine nuts. With machine running, add olive oil in a steady stream. Continue processing, scraping down the sides as needed until pureed. Season with salt and pepper.

Overall, I really enjoyed this red pepper pesto. It's flavorful, versatile, and easy to make. I'll definitely be making it again.

This pesto is really good, but it's a bit expensive to make. I think I'll only make it for special occasions.

I found this pesto to be a bit bland. I think I'll add more garlic and chili flakes next time.

This pesto is a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

I'm not a fan of red peppers, but I actually really enjoyed this pesto. The sweetness of the peppers balances out the spiciness of the chili flakes.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was excited to find this nut-free pesto recipe. It's just as delicious as traditional pesto, but without the nuts.

This pesto is a great way to use up leftover roasted red peppers. I always have a few in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but this one is really good. It's not too oily or garlicky.
