Kale Pesto

This is a tasty way to utilize kale and other hearty greens.  Not only can you use it right away, but you can also freeze the pesto in an ice cube tray and store the cubes in a ziplock in the freezer for future use!  Just thaw out a few cubes and away you go!  You can use this pesto anywhere you would use a regular basil pesto!

Ingredients

-1/2 cup of nuts (any kind will do!  Experiment!)
-3 cloves of garlic
-2 cups packed kale leaves (remove tough stems)
-1/2 C olive oil, plus more to desired consistency
- Salt and Pepper to taste
-1/2 C hard grating cheese (optional)


Combine everything in a food processor, pulse a few times, scrape down sides, process until its reached your desired consistency.
