Black Kale Pesto: We have a simple, quick and delicious recipe for a sauce that you can do anything with

Black, Tuscan, dinosaur, lacinato, Italian kale or Tuscan black palm – as one of its names says, this kale is a vegetable from the Tuscan tradition and is generally widely grown throughout Italy.

In Tuscany, they also make a delicious kale pesto , the recipe of which is below. 

Kale pesto is great as a pasta sauce , but I also put it on polenta, rice, burgers and pizzas . It’s simple and quick to prepare, and I can’t stress enough how delicious it is.

Ingredients:

• 100 g of kale leaves (the smaller they are, the sweeter they are)
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 30 g of a mix of pine nuts and almonds
• 25 g of water from cooking kale
• 30 g of extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

1. Wash the kale leaves and remove the center part.
2. Blanch the leaves in a little hot water for about three minutes and then drain, but save some of the water in which the leaves were cooked.
3. Grind everything in a mortar or blender and add extra virgin olive oil and cooking water (it will give the pesto the necessary creamy consistency).

Good apetite!
