My lovely mother gave us a huge bag of fresh kale over the weekend (I'm sure I saw my dad breathe a sigh of relief as we took it away). We were thinking about maybe using it in a stirfry, or maybe an omelette - nothing too fancy. But then I had a quiet ten minutes at work and thought I'd google some kale recipes, just for fun (because yes, I do spend all my free time thinking about food. And indeed a lot of my non-free time too). And guess what came up on the search? This thoroughly awesome-sounding recipe. I just couldn't resist.
Of course we adapted it a little bit (the original recipe didn't contain any garlic, much to B's horror - he's militantly anti-vampire in his cooking). But otherwise, we just put everything in a big bowl and went at it with a hand-mixer (see action shot below).
The resulting sauce was thick and incredibly, incredibly green - I felt healthier just looking at it! It had a crunchier texture than basil pesto, and an earthier, more vegetable-y taste - delicious, and just the thing to brighten up a dull Tuesday evening.
