Kale Pesto

Who loves kale?

I love having veg boxes delivered and being really experimental with what I make.

I've never used kale in pesto but this works really well!

Making a batch of pesto is a great way to use up kale and this pesto is great on pasta, pizza bases as a dip and however you fancy it!

Kale

• Super nutrient-dense

• Loaded With Powerful Antioxidants

• Excellent Source of Vitamin C

• Can Help Lower Cholesterol, Which May Reduce The Risk of Heart Disease

• One of the best sources of Vitamin K

Ingredients:

• 4 handfuls of Kale

• A good glug of olive oil

• 1 fresh lemon

• 2 cloves of garlic

• ¼ pine nuts (i used cashews as did not have any pine nuts) Walnuts would work well too.

• ⅓ cup hard cheese

• Sea salt

• Freshly cracked black pepper.

Freestyling is the name of the game so if you don’t have something just use something similar.

Method:

1. Wash the kale well and remove any of the hard stalks. Drain away any excess water.

2. In a mixer (I used a nutribullet), add the kale, zest of the lemon and the rest of the ingredients and blitz until the mixture is a fine textured paste.

3. Tate and adjust the seasoning if needed.

4. For a runnier pesto add a little more oil or water.

5. Enjoy
