  • Makes2 servings
  • Prep Time10 minutes
  • Cook Time10 minutes
  • 1 small bunch Tuscan kale, stemmed (about 3 packed cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (about 2 oz.)
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 8 oz. chèvre
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
STEP 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the kale leaves into the boiling water and stir for one minute to blanch. Drain kale and rinse with cold water, then wring out. Place kale on a kitchen towel and roll up, pressing to dry the leaves.
STEP 2
Add the garlic cloves to a food processor one at a time to mince. Add the Parmesan, pine nuts, and salt. Process until minced, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
STEP 3
Add the kale and process until minced. Add the chèvre and process to incorporate, then drizzle in the olive oil with the machine still running, and process until smooth.
