1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas mark 4, once warm place the peppers in an oiled oven tray and put in the oven. Cook until blacked all over, turn the peppers once in a while to ensure and even cook.

2. In a pan over a low-medium heat, toast the nuts for approx 1 minute then place to one side.

3. Once the peppers are charred all over, remove from the oven tray and place in a large bowl, cover the lid of the bowl with cling film until the peppers are cool enough to handle.

4. Once the peppers have cooled sufficiently, remove the cling film. Now, peel all the skin from the peppers and discard, also remove seeds, stalk and core at the same time.

5. Now, add the peppers, walnuts and all the other ingredients into a blender, blending together into an even consistency. Adjust the ingredients for a flavour or texture which suits you.

Add a little extra chilli for more of a kick!
