Red pesto
by
Pesto is well worth making at home, as store-bought varieties rarely capture the vibrant flavour of the freshly-made version. Better still, it can be made in just 10 minutes! This red pesto recipe is a delicious alternative to the more common green variety, with the addition of roasted red peppers imparting a wonderful smoky flavour and striking colour.
