Directions
1. Soak kale leaves in hot water for 30 seconds to 1 minute to soften them. 2. Pulse all ingredients—kale, parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, parmesan cheese, hazelnut, plus 4 tablespoons water—in a food processor until smooth or desired consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl of the food processor. Transfer to a sealable container (a mason jar is perfect). 3. Serve over pizza, pasta, grilled meat, crackers, eggs, soup, sandwiches, salads… the sky is the limit! Note: If you want to make it vegan. Just remove Parmesan from the mix.
