INGREDIENTS

50 g young spruce shoots
100 g kale leaves
150 g olive oil
50 g grated Parmesan
50 g peeled almonds
1 teaspoon whole dried pink pepper
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Clean the kale leaves and cut them into smaller pieces, wash the spruce shoots, and crush the garlic. For blending, use a classic stand blender. An immersion blender can also be used. Mix all ingredients, except salt, in the blender container. For this quantity, there should be just enough olive oil, but if the ingredients don't blend smoothly, add a little more oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste and mix again.
2
Store the pesto in the refrigerator in sealed jars, covered with olive oil, which will serve as a preservative.

Tip

Pesto is excellent with pasta, fresh bread, or as a dip for grilled meat.
