Equipment
- 1 large oven tray
- 1 food processor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Pour a little oil on a large oven tray (or you can use two oven trays!) and spread it about. Add the tomatoes, capsicum and the whole head of garlic. Toss to coat in oil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until starting to caramelise. Allow to cool.
- In a food processor, process the cashews, parmesan and an extra drizzle of olive oil until processed, but still quite lumpy. Squeeze the garlic from the roasted head and add that to the food processor.
- Also add the tomatoes and capsicum, a pinch of sea salt and some ground black pepper. Pulse until combined and of pesto consistency.
