This recipe uses red bell peppers, black pepper, dried chile pepper and lots of Parmesan cheese, but less basil than most pesto recipes. The predominant flavor is sweet red pepper. It's excellent toasted with bread under the broiler or tossed with pasta. The pesto keeps up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 0.67 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cups chopped red bell pepper
- 0.25 cups tightly packed basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- ground black pepper to taste

Shredded Tri-Tip for Tacos in the Slow Cooker
This is a recipe I created by marrying two together. You can make it as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or other chiles. I tried it first on my co-workers and there was nothing left! Then I made it for my family and they loved it, too. My Hispanic co-workers really liked it, so I guess I passed the 'test!'
