A Hardy (and Healthy!) Take on the Classic Pesto Recipe
This wintry version of pesto is robust, but just as luxurious as the classic basil sauce. Indeed, kale lends itself marvelously to making pesto! And the sauce is quick to make -- all that's needed is to blanch the hardy leaves for a few minutes before making the sauce... and voila!
But it did take me some time to get the flavor of this pesto just right. The blanched leaves have a pronounced earthy flavor, almost a mineral taste, that needs to be balanced -- I would even say tamed! And Pecorino Romano, with its salty bite, turned out to be the perfect counterpoint. The fresh parsley sprigs, on the other hand, round off the flavors marvelously, bringing a fresh, herbal element to the sauce. The pine nuts, of course, add such a wonderful creaminess that they're indispensable here.
This kale pesto is wonderfully versatile, and can be used in all kinds of dishes: toss it with your favorite shape of pasta, swirl it in a risotto, spoon it on top of pizzas or serve it as a sauce or condiment. Whichever way you serve it, this pesto will enchant the taste buds.
