Leave to cool for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the basil sauce, place the garlic, pine nuts and basil in a food processor. Whizz until smooth and slowly add the olive oil to produce a delicious green paste.&nbsp;Discard the skins from the peppers and roughly chop the flesh. Stir in the basil, cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spread the basil dressing on the base of the matzo crackers and top with the red pepper mixture. Serve immediately with a dusting of black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Recipe specially created by:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Denise Phillips, professional chef and cookery writer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>www.jewishcookery.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rakusen\u2019s Matzo Crackers make a perfect base for brushetta and the variation of toppings are endless &#8211; so really, you can let your imagination run away with you and come up with something creative!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,53,33,37,38],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2893,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions\/2893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakusens.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
