Roasted red pepper and almond pesto

Made this pesto as a base for a proscuitto, carmelized red onion and goats cheese tart and man, it was tasty!

You will need:
1 small red pepper
2 handfuls of flaked almonds
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp dried basil
dessert spoon of diced cheese (I used mature cheddar)

-Pre-heat your oven to around 190°c
- Core and slice the pepper, arrange on a baking tray and drizzle over olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop the tray in the oven and keep checking them and turn reguarly just so they are starting to blacken at the edges.
- Meanwhile heat up a frying pan and stir round the almonds untill they are lightly browned.
- Put the almonds, pepper, chopped garlic cloves, basil and cheese in a bowl and blitz with a stick blender until it's a rough paste.

There you are, as I said I had it on pastry, but should be proper tasty with pasta also!

Enjoy.
