Notes

Please note: This pesto will last a maximum of 3 days in the fridge due to raw garlic and the risk of botulism.
You can freeze any left over pesto or simply eat with some crackers!
Feel free to adapt this recipe to what you like ie. if you don't like capsicum you can omit. You can also omit the olives and season to taste.
