Ingredients
  

  • 300 g nuts I used a mixture of different nuts
  • 6 sundried tomatoes in oil drained
  • 2 peppers in oil drained
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp capers minced
  • 1 tbsp dry vermouth
  • 1 tbsp sage leaves minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • food processor

Directions
 

  1. Soak the nuts in water overnight, then drain and pat dry.
  2. Heat the oven to 200C.
  3. Toast the nuts in the oven for 20 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they do not burn (or dry-toast in a pan for about 2 minutes until golden and nutty, then tip them out at once).
  4. Let them cool.
  5. Blend the nuts with all the other ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
