Red Pesto

Pesto alla siciliana - Sicily's version of pesto made with tomato and less basil than the norm. Some recipes call for almonds instead of pinenuts.

Ingredients:

8 oz sun blush tomatoes
4 oz toasted pinenuts
4 cloves of garlic
2 oz parmesan - finely grated
½ bunch of purple basil
olive oil - enough to make a thick paste
black pepper

Method:

If you want to get rid of some pent-up aggression simply pound all the ingredients to death with a pestle and mortar otherwise blitz them to a puree with a food processor.
