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
