Description

Pesto as you know it, but with kale. Any type of kale will do.

Ingredients

  • 85g pine nuts, toasted. If pine nuts are not available, walnuts work well too.
  • 85g parmesan, coarsely grated, plus extra to serve
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 75ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 85g kale
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the nuts, parmesan, garlic, oil, kale and lemon juice until smooth. Whizz to a paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Serve with pasta or as a dressing for roast vegetables, fish, chicken, etc. Delicious on its own on a piece of crusty bread.

Notes

To store, put in a container or jar and cover with a bit more olive oil. It can be kept in a fridge for a week and freezer for a month.
Nutritional yeast works as a great substitute for parmesan cheese.
