How to Make Roasted Green Pepper Pesto
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Cut 2 large green bell peppers into quarters and lightly spray with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Roast the peppers under the broiler for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered.
- Place the roasted peppers in a paper bag and let them steam for 5 minutes. This will make peeling much easier.
- While the peppers steam, seed and roughly chop 1-2 small jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference).
- Roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic.
- Once the peppers have cooled slightly, peel off the blackened skin. Remove stems and seeds.
- Combine the roasted peppers, jalapeños, garlic, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon in a food processor.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve immediately on your favorite crackers with goat cheese, as a sandwich spread, or use as a vibrant sauce for pasta and more!
