From the "why didn't I think of that" files... Kale Pesto! A surprisingly delicious way to eat raw greens. Savory on pasta or even as a cracker spread. Thanks, Blondie!
Ingredients:
about 3 giant kale leaves, washed, stems removed
1/2 C sliced almonds
toasted 3 cloves garlic
1/2 t kosher salt
1 t red pepper flakes (or less if you want less bite)
2/3 C EVOO + more
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
Directions:
In the bowl of your food processor with blade inserted, toss in kale, almonds, garlic, salt, pepper flakes, EVOO, and parmesan. Blend/puree until a thick paste forms. Add EVOO to help the texture along until a puree-like paste forms. The almond pieces should be pulverized, and not noticeable.
