Capsicum and Cashew Pesto

Here is a little recipe 

for capsicums...of any colour.

De-seed and cut the capsicums into strips.

Char grill them

I just put them in a hot dry non stick pan 

and pressed them down so they came into full contact with the heat.  

I removed them when they began to char...

well as soon as the smoke alarm went off anyway.

Amounts are estimated and all put in a food processor.  

• 3/4 cup of prepared capsicum.
• 1/3 cup of cashews
• 2 sliced cloves of garlic
• 1 tablespoon of oregano leaves
• 1/3 cup of olive oil

I buzzed it until just combined (I wanted a rough rustic pesto, but you could go smoother)

Remove from the processor and stir through 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese.

Salt and pepper to taste

I used this in a pasta dish 

but it was tasty and would go well on biscuits or as a dip.
