Red Chilli Pesto

This bold and fiery Red Chilli Pesto is a game-changer! Packed with smoky sun-dried tomatoes, toasty pecans, and vibrant basil, it gets a spicy kick from bird’s eye chillies and red pepper flakes. The lemon zest brightens the richness, while parmesan (or its vegan alternative) adds umami depth. Perfect for tossing with pasta, spreading on toast, or drizzling over roasted veggies.

Notes

Pro Tip ✨: Let the pesto sit for 30 minutes before using so the chilli, garlic, lemon and basil can settle into the oil. For a looser, drizzle-style pesto, add an extra splash of olive oil. For a thicker spread, keep it chunky.

Keep refrigerated and use within 3–4 days, or freeze in small portions for quick flavour boosts.
