Kale Pesto
Emily Woody
Ingredients
200 grams kale, de-stemmed
315 ml olive oil
240 grams Parmesan
90 grams walnuts
15 grams garlic (2 cloves)
1 tsp salt
Makes 1000 ml (4 small jars)
Instructions
Grate the Parmesan using the grating attachment of a food processor. Place the cheese in a bowl. Change from the grating attachment to the blade attachment.
Add the de-stemmed kale to the bowl of the food processor. Then add the cheese, walnuts, peeled garlic cloves, and salt.
Start the food processor and add the olive oil through the top of the lid. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the olive oil.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and taste test to determine if the rest of the oil should be added. Kale that is very juicy will need less olive oil to reach a nice pesto consistency.
Process until smooth.
Pour the pesto into clean jars and place in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
