Kale Pesto

One of my favourite veggies to grow in the garden is kale but we often end up with so much left overs,  we struggle to know what to do with it. After an afternoon of frantic searching, I came across the idea of making Kale Pesto. It follows a similar recipe to normal pesto but also includes kale and lots of it! 

It ended up being really easy to make, tasted great with pasta and was freezable so we could enjoy our kale later on in the year when the garden wasn't being so generous. 

Here is the recipe we used:

100g Kale 

100g Nuts (we used walnuts but I think you could use any nuts) 

100g Grated Parmesan Cheese

4 Cloves of Garlic 

Olive Oil 

Lemon Juice 

Salt and Pepper

Put everything in a food processor and combine to a paste. Add olive oil and lemon juice until you get the right consistency and taste. Season with salt and pepper. 

We mixed the pesto with some pasta and ham hock and served with a little more grated Parmesan. 

This recipe made 4 portions, 2 we ate and 2 we put in the freezer. 

We forgot to take a picture before gobbling it down so will have to take one next time to add to the blog.
