Method

It takes steps in 40 min

Place the peppers on a baking tray and bake them in the oven at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, until the skin is well blackened

Once cooked, cover them with plastic wrap for 10 minutes; this will make them easier to peel

Chop the walnuts, Parmigiano Reggiano, and garlic with a blender until the mixture is uniform but still slightly coarse, then set aside

Remove the skin and seeds from the peppers and place them in the blender jar

Add the oil and blend until it becomes a smooth cream

Combine the walnut and cheese mixture and stir with a spoon, adding salt and, if needed, a bit more oil
