Roasted red peppers are delicious; the process is a bit labor-intensive. (Have you ever tried peeling off the skins?) Here, we had someone else do that, so all that's left is the flavor, pesto'ed, crème fraîche'ed, and spread onto meaty meatballs like that was what it was born to do and nothing else. Speaking of work, not a lot to do here, and it comes together in no time.
