Gorgeous. It'll make a delicious pesto sauce

I've never heard of kale pesto before. Do you add it or substitute it with basil?

[–] ThrowawaySobriquet 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Little of both. Use about half as much basil and as much kale as I can fet away with. I like to sub in toasted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts sometimes

I'm going to give this a try. Toasted pine nuts can be hard to come by and pricey for me.

Good to know. I'm excited to make some pesto once my basil grows a little bigger.
