Kale Basil Pesto

* This recipe makes about 3-4 cups of pesto*

Ingredients:

1 bunch Kale

1 bunch Basil

Juice of 1 whole lemon

1 whole garlic head (peeled)

1  1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

2 cups olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

- Prep all the ingredients. Rinse Kale and Basil separately. Pat dry Basil and set aside. 

- I cut off the excess Kale stalk/stem and used the kale leaves only.

- Put Kale in a pot of boiling water and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until wilted. 

-Drain thoroughly. Make sure to remove excess water.

- In a food processor/blender, put in kale, basil, garlic,lemon juice, and salt & pepper. Pulse.

- Pour/drizzle olive oil while blending. 

- Pulse/blend until pesto is fully incorporated and smooth. 

- Add Parmesan cheese and mix.

*Add more salt& pepper/Parmesan cheese if you want to.*

And there you have it, your own Kale Basil Pesto! 

*Store pesto in seal tight containers and make sure to put it in the fridge*
