Product Description
Ottolenghi Calabrian Chilli and Tomato Pesto 170g is a contemporary take on traditional pesto, combining smoky tomatoes, warming Calabrian chillies and premium Italian ingredients to create a deeply savoury condiment packed with flavour. Rich hickory-smoked tomato paste forms the foundation, while Calabrian chilli peppers add a distinctive warmth that builds gently without overwhelming the palate.
Balanced with extra virgin olive oil, caramelised onions, pine kernels and Parmigiano Reggiano, this tomato pesto delivers layers of complexity with every spoonful. Preserved lemons, cumin and coriander contribute subtle aromatic notes, creating a versatile pesto that can be used far beyond pasta dishes.
Its concentrated flavour means only a small amount is needed to transform everyday meals. Stir through freshly cooked pasta, fold into butter beans, swirl into soups or spoon over eggs for an instant flavour boost. It also pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, roasted meats and grain-based dishes, making it a valuable addition to any store cupboard.
