Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
• 1 bunch raw kale, stems removed, coarsely chopped (about 1/2lb)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp water
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 1 Tbsp Fresh whole pepper
• Salt to taste

Directions

Combine the walnuts, pepper, garlic, and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a food processor and pulse repeatedly until all ingredients are coarsely chopped.

Add the kale, olive oil, water, and lemon juice and pulse again until you’ve got a nice, thick paste. If necessary, add a bit more water or olive oil to loosen it up.

Season with salt to taste, making sure to give one last mix.

Makes about 1 ¼ cups
