I just love Pesto. Pesto seems to love just about everything. Today, Red Pepper Pesto is my greatest ambition. It is so easy to make. Not as easy as a basil pesto, buy hey, roasting and peeling a couple or so red peppers is worth the tiny bit of trouble for the great flavor it provides. It goes well with anything: raw veggies, baguette toasts, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, pizza, grilled steak and chicken, and tangy cheese such as a feta or goat cheese. My favorite pairing is with a tangy goat cheese and this pair can be combined with any of the above. Oh my! How things work out sometimes!
This fabulous, easy recipe is a great addition to any cooks repertoire. It can take any dinner up a pedigree and still be healthy. It can be a simple pasta sauce for a quick meal or a sauce for grilled meat. It can also make a simple boring sandwich into something memorable. Maybe that is going to far, but then maybe not. It certainly is a healthier, tastier addition than mayo. I am probably biased about mayo. I have no affinity for the stuff as a sandwich spread, never ate it, but I do keep mayo on hand as an ingredient for recipes.
