Directions:
- Blanch the kale in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes and chill down in a cold water bath, drain and squeeze excess water.
- Place into small work bowl of food processor and pulse to start breaking up the kale, add rough chopped garlic, process, add pine nuts, pulse several times.
- Slowly add the olive oils and lemon juice, process until everything is broken down. It will never be real smooth.
- Finally add the cheese and pulse a few times. Season with salt and pepper.
- If serving with pasta grate a little extra cheese over and add EVOO to the hot pasta, toss with pesto, serve with additional grated cheese.
- These are the basics of my recipe and the way that I prefer it, but you can add more garlic, lemon, or oil if you like.
