This pesto recipe is made with tomatoes and chilli, which gives it a wonderful kick and vibrant colour.
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- Pinch of sea salt
- 25g pine nuts
- 260g semi-dried tomatoes
- in oil, drained
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and
- roughly chopped
- Handful fresh flatleaf parsley
- 125ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 25g Parmesan, finely grated
Method
- 1. Put the garlic and sea salt into the bowl of a small food processor and pulse.

- 3. Turn into a bowl and stir through the extra-virgin olive oil and Parmesan until you have a juicy paste, seasoning to taste as you go.
