Turns out red pesto is green pesto, and then you blend in a shitload of sun dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers. And that’s it. It’s fantastic, on the level of “Why was I wasting time with the green stuff?”
Ingredients
3 ounces pine nuts
1 12 ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained
12 sun dried tomatoes
6 cloves garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 packages basil, just the leaves, stems discarded (about 2 ounces)
2 ounces grated parmesan
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Directions
Chuck everything in a food processor and puree the shit out of it. Store in a jar in the refrigerator until you want to use it.
