Peperonata is a classic Italian summer sauce made with slow-cooked bell peppers in a fragrant tomato sauce. And as if that doesn’t sound good enough, it’s topped off with a rich and tasty homemade pecan nut pesto.

What is pesto?

Pesto originated in Genoa, Italy, and, roughly translated, means “to crush”. And let’s be honest, it can be added to basically anything and it will make it better. Between the alluring bright green colour and garlic lingering in the air, how can anyone pass on this amazing mixture?

A classic pesto combination usually contains pine nuts, basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. This however is far from the only combination. For example, should you not have basil available, spinach, kale or arugula make a great (deeper green) substitute.

For this recipe, however, we will be using a combination of basil leaves and parsley with pecan nuts. Pecan nuts tend to have a sweet nutty and buttery flavour, adding even more deliciousness to the pesto.

Chef’s Tip

If you are going to take on the task of making this luscious herb mixture, make a big batch and pop it in the freezer. Pesto can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
