The day of my birthday (having gone out to celebrate the night before) my friend Jess and I woke up hungover, sleepy, a little whiny, and in definite need of a good lunch. Luckily the newspaper that day had an awesome collection of recipes involving kale. We quickly decided that kale pesto would make the perfect meal, and it definitely did not disappoint.
I've never posted recipes before, but this one was too good not to share.
If we're going to be completely honest here... I ate all the leftover pesto with a spoon last time. It's that good.
This batch came out a little bit chunky because I was just using a blender instead of a food processor. Luckily I was happy with the outcome either way!
This looks pretty tasty. I've never had kale before though, so who knows if I would actually like it. Following along from the Aloha Friday blog hop!

Hey Tiffany, thanks for stopping by! I think it's worth a try! I think it can vary depending on the kind of kale you use, but the first time I made it you could barely taste the kale at all, it was more just pesto with a little something extra haha.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you give it a try, I hope you'll like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith!
ReplyDeleteI never would have though of it on my own either! Definitely let me know what you think!

ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I am so making this, I love Kale, but have ran out of recipes for it! (ok so maybe I was only making Kale crisps all the time, but they're seriously tasty!)
ReplyDeleteHmm maybe...
I love pesto too. Hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it! It seems like there are a ton of kale recipes floating around right now so I'm sure you could find other ones too! If I come across any more good ones I'll send them your way.
ReplyDeletewell kale crips are pretty great so I don't blame you! But I hope you enjoy this use of kale as well!
