When I was at the grocery store I saw something new. They were "long peppers" and they looked very tasty. I tried one raw and it was very good and really sweet. They are perfect for snacking or in a salad. I had been meaning to try roasting my own peppers for a while and this was the perfect opportunity. And so I made roasted red pepper pesto.
Ingredients:
2 roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 tablespoons pine nuts (toasted)
2 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano (grated)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Place everything into a food processor and puree.
Use in:
