PEPERONI PESTO

By Manuela | April 13, 2018 | InAll Recipes, Blog, Entrees

This is one of those pestos  that I try to have always in my fridge. I use it to spice up vegetables or just wit a little labneh on grilled aubergines, even baked potatoes and grilled calamari.
The possibilities are endless!

• line a oven tray with baking paper
• slice the onion in thick slices and drizzle a little olive oil over it
• put the peperoni, chillies and onion on the baking tray
• bake for about 15 minutes or until the peperoni and chilli start to blister
• seal them in a plastic bag, so that the steam loosens the skin
• when cool enough to handle, skin them and remove the seeds
• cut the peperoni into pieces
