Rye Free Walnut Pesto Roasted Red Pepper Relish

Smoky, charred red peppers meet a vibrant basil-and-walnut base in this bold relish that works as a spread, a topping, or an outright dip situation. The broiler does the heavy lifting on flavor, blistering the peppers until they're deeply caramelized and silky, while fresh lemon juice and a pinch of red pepper flakes keep everything bright and lively. Pulsing the walnuts separately before folding them in at the end is the move that gives this relish its satisfying, chunky texture — no mush, just layers of bite. Every ingredient here is naturally grain-free, so there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out; the recipe just works as written. It's the kind of condiment that makes a simple piece of grilled chicken or a slice of crusty bread feel like a proper meal. Serve it at room temperature and don't skip the parsley — that final scatter of green makes the whole bowl pop.
