Inspired by Jane Esselstyn’s Kale Butter recipe, this delicious, rich, and vibrant green butter makes a great spread on toast, flat bread, crackers, sandwiches, and wraps, or a great dip for veggies and chips.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch of kale, washed and de-stemmed
  • ½ cup pecan pieces, raw
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
 
Preparation:
  1. Place the water in a large covered pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the kale, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and steam for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the pecan pieces in a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
  4. Toast the pecans by shaking the skillet or stirring the pecans until they begin to turn a darker brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  6. Place the steamed kale, water from steaming, toasted pecans, and salt into a blender and process until smooth.
 
Makes 1½ - 2 cups

Hi,
Sounds lovely and nutritious, how long do you reckon it will keep in the fridge for?

Hi Freya,

It will last for up to a week in the fridge, yet in my experience, it probably won't be around that long because it's so good. Enjoy!
