Roast Peppers with Pesto, Basila and Anchovies is one of our favourite starters, side type dishes. It goes with lots of things – tapas, grilled meats, some hummus and flatbreads. A really simple starter that’s easy to do and works well at room temperature as well as hot out of the oven. If you want to make this Vegan then make sure you use Dairy Free Pesto, and omit the Anchovies. We do the Vegan version on the time and it’s lovely.
