this is THE best way i've ever prepared kale! our basil plant was ready for some harvesting so i tossed a large handful of leaves in the food processor with a tablespoon of toasted pine nuts, a liberal pour of olive oil and some kosher salt. homemade pesto is completely unlike any pesto you can buy in a jar. toss it with some freshly steamed kale and you've got a very impressive side dish.
for two servings you'll need:
four large handfuls of torn kale leaves
extra virgin olive oil
toasted pine nuts
a large handful of basil leaves
salt
chop together in a food processor the basil, pine nuts, salt and olive oil. you want the mixture to be very moist with the olive oil. don't be shy, it's so good for you!
steam kale in a little water over medium high heat until bright green and wilted. about three minutes. drain off water. toss with pesto and serve.
