Kale and Basil Pesto

Kale & Basil Pesto

 

Category, , , DifficultyBeginner

This is a great way to add some extra leafy greens to classic pesto recipes by simply replacing some of the basil used with kale. You could also substitute in spinach or rocket for a similar result. Rocket will add a delicious spicy bite to the end product. Pesto is extremely versatile and can be used as a pasta sauce or a marinade to bake fish or meat with.
