Chef's notes
Roasted Red Bell Pepper:
Roasted bell peppers come in various forms; some are cut and stored in brine, while others are sliced and packed in oil. Make sure that the ones you use are oil-free.
Toasted Pine Nuts:
You can purchase pre-toasted pine nuts, or you can toast them yourself: Simply cook in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
