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:
Wash the kale well and remove any of the hard stalks. Drain away any excess water.
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.
Tate and adjust the seasoning if needed.
For a runnier pesto add a little more oil or water.
Enjoy
Who will be trying this one? Love to hear from you. Have a great day xx
