Ingredients
1 heaping cup chopped kale stems
3 cloves of garlic
½ cup toasted walnuts or pine nuts
big handful of parsley and/or basil
juice & zest of 1 lemon
salt & pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes
¼ cup olive oil
optional: drizzle of balsamic vinegar
optional: grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
Directions
Place stem pieces in a small pot and fill it with enough water to cover them halfway up. Toss in the garlic and a few pinches of salt. Simmer until the stems become knife-tender (about 20 minutes). Drain and let cool. In a food processor or blender, pulse the cooked stems. Add everything else, drizzling in the olive oil at the end. Taste and adjust to your liking!
