I like the versatility of this flavorful puree. Spread it on slim, toasted baguette slices and top it with a slice of red onion and/or feta cheese as an appetizer; mound it up into a dish for dipping vegetable sticks into; spoon it over pasta and grate Parmesan over it. We serve it as a relish to the Shabbat roast chicken. I also like to spread a thin layer of it over sandwich bread before adding the filling.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 red bell peppers
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil, but more if needed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf (optional)

Steps:

  • Grill or bake the peppers till the thin skins are black; this usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Take them out and put them into a plastic bag; they will soften and become moist, and the skin will peel off. Rinse the peppers to get rid of any flakes of burnt skin.
  • Process the peppers, the pine nuts, and the olive oil in a blender till you obtain a creamy paste; thin it to a looser paste if you want, with more olive oil. If adding fresh basil, make sure the leaves are washed and patted dry before adding to the blender jar.
  • Add salt and ground pepper to taste.
  • Keep in a well-covered jar in the fridge, and use it up within two weeks.
