This pesto is must try especially if you have any leftover green leaves, carrot tops, celery leaves, broccoli leaves or herbs 🌿🌿
you will need:
3 cups mixture of kale (stalks removed), leaves, herbs
half a cup of nuts, almonds in my pesto ( use parmesan if you wish )
3 small cloves garlic
100 ml olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt or less
Blanch the kale together with the leaves for 3 minutes.
Ground the nuts using a hand-grinder.
Combine all ingredients and blend.
If you have a tall blender that's perfect.
If you have one of those powerful blender then you don't have to ground the nuts separate.
Alternatively chop the greens by hand and add the rest of the ingredients.
Keep the pesto in a clean jar in the fridge.
Also the pesto can be stored in an ice cube tray and defrosted when needed for sandwich spread, pasta bakes topping or used on home-made pizza 🍕

I do love kale pesto. And adore the freshness and colours of your contribution to EatYourGreens this month. Thank you. I love your mooli grater, I had something similar for cheese, but since moving home a few times got lost in transition somewhere, unless I got rid of it - cannot think why. so now I will have to look over the w/e to see if I still have it and dig it out.

Everyone has of course heard of pistachio nuts. These nuts are the best known of the pistachio ice cream. In other cultures these nuts are then salted with the tea. The least you can say about pistachio nuts is that they are a versatile product. Pistachio nuts naturally have a greenish color and are wedged between two half-open shells. They look special that way. Pistachio nuts grow on a small tree that belongs to the wig tree family. The pistachio tree can reach a height of around 10 meters. This tree species has up to 1000 species of which the pistachio tree is only one. The cashmere tree from which we know the cashew nuts is also part of this botanical family. The pistachio tree is from Asia. The name pistachio itself also comes from Asia and more specifically from Farsi. Farsi is the language spoken in Iran. Pistachios are called 'pista' there.
