Step 1

Drain the peppers (450g) well on paper/kitchen towel, then add them to the bowl of a food processor along with garlic (3 cloves), pine nuts (70g/½ cup), grated parmesan cheese (30g/½ cup), olive oil (2 tsp) and basil leaves (⅓ cup firmly packed).

Step 2

Process until finely chopped. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor as you go.

Step 3

Once you have reached your desired consistency, add lemon juice and salt to taste.
