That looks good too....how'd ya get from raw pepper to pesto?
Put the peppers under the grill until the skin blackens (you will have to turn them a few times to get the skin to blacken evenly all around) and then put them in a bowl and put cling film over the top and let them steam and cool for about 15 minutes. Then -- WEARING GLOVES (which I failed to do, and my hands are still burning today) -- peel off the skins and remove the seeds and put the peppers in the Magimix along with some toasted pine nuts. For about 3 pounds of peppers I used about a cup of pine nuts. Then, with the Magimix running, drizzle in some olive oil -- I used about 3/4 of a cup -- and then you're done...
Me and the secret other half want to know were the christmas update is?
Hmmmmm
Is it reallt that time in the morning, the dodgy cafe next to the pool must be open now. Who's up for breakfast?
There is no Xmas update because we didn't have Xmas at the farm, but Andy, why are you awake at this hour???
We had just got in from Madchester at Edinburgh :)
