Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
1 yellow pepper, cored, seeded and coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 red pepper, cored, seeded and coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup Basil Pesto, recipe follows
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 clove garlic

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 20 minutes, or until they are cooked though, but the skins remain intact. Set them aside until they are cool enough to handle. Quarter the potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Add the peppers and the pesto and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and chill.
