2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 clove of garlic
1 pickled pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

In a blender or food processor, add most of the halved cherry tomatoes, reserving a few for later. Process the tomatoes for a minute until they are well blended and smooth. Set aside.

Add the blanched almonds, chili flakes, garlic clove, pickled pepper, fresh basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining halved cherry tomatoes to the blender.

Once the mixture is well-blended, add the extra virgin olive oil to the blender.

Blitz the ingredients in the blender until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy in texture.
