  • 1/2 leaves bunch basil only
  • 1/3 c chopped walnuts toasted
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon + more to taste

  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt + more to taste

Instructions

  • Roast the red bell peppers on a cast iron plate until chard all over. Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Wait until cool enough to handle to discard the charred skins and the seeds.
